You will be joining the Improvement and Impact team. Our work covers all aspects of organisational impact, performance, and planning, and this role plays an important part in determining how we are progressing against our organisational strategy.

We are looking for a confident user of PowerBI with the ability to build dashboards from scratch. You will enjoy working with a wide variety of teams to help streamline processes and maintain consistency across the organisation and have strong communication skills.

About the role

In this role, you will develop, build and maintain reports and dashboards to assist with monitoring organisational impact, performance, and planning activity, as well as working with the organisational Impact Manager to manage, understand, and promote the Charity’s impact data.

You will collaborate with various key stakeholders across the organisation to align processes, and will provide analysis and insight across impact, performance, and planning in an accessible, engaging and visual way. You will work particularly closely with our Service teams to lead on streamlined data collection processes, and will ensure that data used by the Improvement and Impact team is robust, appropriately managed and governed in line with applicable standards and laws (for example GDPR).

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

Confident user of Power BI, with excellent working knowledge and practical experience of building Power BI dashboards to collate data from a variety of different sources.
Competent and confident in Microsoft Office (particularly Excel, but also Word, Outlook, PowerPoint) and SharePoint.
Good understanding and working knowledge of GDPR and how to apply this to data collation, with the ability to manage sensitive information with discretion.
Appropriate practical experience of working as part of an advisory function.
Experience of working with a range of internal stakeholders and evidence of the ability to build relationships, challenge constructively, collaborate, facilitate, network and influence.
Effective and confident oral and written skills and the ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.
Good attention to detail.
Excellent analytical and organisational skills with the ability to delve into detail alongside seeing the bigger picture.
Enthusiastic, flexible, and innovative approach to work.

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

About us

We have made a commitment in our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy to increase the diversity of our charity and we welcome candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We want our employees, volunteers and trustees to represent the broad diversity of the communities of which we are a part.

There are over 10 million people living with arthritis. That’s one in six, with over half of those living in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes on everyday life – affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as ‘just a bit of arthritis’. We don’t think that this is OK. Versus Arthritis is here to change that.

Versus Arthritis is committed to keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from harm. During the recruitment process we will undertake safer recruitment practices and relevant checks to ensure applicants are suitable to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults.
