Are you dynamic and enthusiastic, with excellent interpersonal skills, able to demonstrate good judgement and great at analysing data and report writing? This may be just what you are looking for.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Corporate Performance Co-ordinator to join our Performance and Improvement Team on a fixed term contract until February 2028. This role is crucial in supporting the Council’s business planning process and reporting out on the Council’s progress against key priorities and achievements through the analysis of service performance information.

Moreover, it acts as a critical friend, offering challenge and support to enhance services' efficiency and performance. The role also involves understanding data insights, the determining factors that affect performance and help shape strategy.

As part of the performance reporting, you will be required to attend scrutiny committee meetings to present quarterly performance reports to members.

You will also play a key part in supporting the Council to embed the requirements of the Local Outcomes Framework, helping to ensure that performance information is aligned to local priorities and insight is used to drive better decision‑making.

We are looking for a proactive, highly organised individual with excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships with people at all levels of the organisation. You will be confident and people‑focused, with a genuine passion for supporting others, and ideally have experience of working within a local authority.

You will be able to demonstrate excellent analytical skills, working across a wide range of data and information, with the ability to present complex information both verbally and in written format in an innovative and engaging way, operating within tight timeframes and working well as part of a team as well as on your own.

If you believe you have the skills and commitment to make a positive contribution to this role and the Council, then we would love to hear from you.
