Data and Improvement Assistant

3 weeks ago

Dundee, United Kingdom Scottish Government Full time

Overview:
Would you like to contribute in making a difference to the lives of the people of Scotland?

Do you have excellent communication skills?

If the answer is yes, then we may have the opportunity for you.

This is an excellent opportunity for an individual to become the Data and Improvement Assistant with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).

The Data and Improvement Assistant will work closely with the Data and Improvement Officer to undertake analysis of charity and casework data gathered across the organisation to help inform OSCR’s regulatory activities and thematic research. The post holder will interrogate databases to provide information for internal and external data requests and reports. The Data and Improvement Assistant will also provide cover and support to administration colleagues across OSCR, specifically the Communications and Digital Assistant. This is not an ICT post, but does include a number of technical elements which do not require technical qualifications.

OSCR is the independent regulator and registrar of all Scottish charities. We are a Non Ministerial Department which means that although we are employed as Scottish Government employees we answer to a Board of non-executive directors who are independent of government.

Our office is based in Dundee, however we offer a hybrid work-style allowing staff to work remotely on the understanding that they are able to attend their contractual work location 2 days per week.

**Responsibilities**:

- Under direction from the Data and Improvement Officer, interrogate databases to provide information for internal and external data requests, reports and information.
- Under direction from the Data and Improvement Officer, undertake analysis of charity and casework data to inform regulatory activities and thematic research.
- Provide support and cover to the Digital and Communications Assistant and Corporate Assistant (A4) in respect of LAN and ERDM administration, monitoring and support including user set up and induction, co-ordinating security updates, fault reporting and record management, retention and destruction.
- Provide procurement and project support to Data and Research colleagues through undertaking an administrative role in respect of research, internal projects and improvement activities.
- Provide colleagues with analytical and data visualisation support as required.
- Provide support and cover to colleagues throughout the organisation who are undertaking administrative roles, as requested by the Data and improvement officer.
- In line with organisational priorities and needs, work as part of a flexible team to perform other tasks and take part in projects as required.

**Competencies**
