Data Analyst

At Helping Hands, data is at the heart of how we run our business and support our teams to deliver exceptional care at home. As a Data Analyst, you’ll play a key role in transforming complex datasets into clear, actionable insights that drive smarter decisions across the organisation.

 

Working in our Data & Insight team, you’ll be the bridge between stakeholders and our data platform – using SQL and BI tools to uncover trends, answer business questions, and tell compelling stories with data. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people as much as data, and who wants to see their work make a real difference.

 

Location: At least one day per week at our Support Office in Alcester, Warwickshire.

 

What you’ll be doing

  • Querying large datasets using SQL to uncover trends, patterns, and opportunities.
  • Building intuitive dashboards that bring data to life for stakeholders.
  • Translating analysis into clear, engaging narratives that support strategic decision-making.
  • Responding to data queries and ensuring reporting is timely, accurate, and relevant.
  • Supporting process improvements by automating manual tasks and documenting best practices.
  • Collaborating with stakeholders across the business to scope and define data requirements.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong SQL skills and experience with modern data platforms (e.g. Snowflake, dbt, Power BI).
  • A curious, analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail.
  • Experience in data cleaning, validation, and visualisation.
  • Ability to communicate insights clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple requests.
  • Experience translating business questions into data-driven solutions.

Desirable extras

  • Confidence presenting insights to senior leaders and investors.
  • Advanced SQL or experience with Python/R for deeper analysis.
  • Understanding of GDPR, data governance, or data quality processes.
  • Previous experience in healthcare, social care, or retail environments.
