TOEX Data Insights Analyst (NERSOU)
 

Salary: £28,974 to £31,725

Based at: Sunderland area

 

Fixed term opportunity until 31 March 2025

 

Please note: This role will be advertised from Friday 10th June 2022 until Sunday 26th June 2022

 

Role:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Data Insights Analyst to join to support the development of data–led products and techniques, automated where possible, the Tackling Organised Exploitation (TOEX) team, part of the North East Special Operations Unit (NERSOU). You will work with Intelligence Analysts to build enriched intelligence products to support operational decision making.

 

The Tackling Organised Exploitation Project Team (TOEX) has been commissioned to develop a whole systems approach to improve the response to the ‘exploitation of the vulnerable’ within the current National Strategic Assessment of Serious and Organised Crime, developing a model that supports an enhanced intelligence picture to inform activity; operational tasking and coordination; and capability development.

 

Within the TOEX team, the input of the Data Insight Analyst provides something uniquely different to other intelligence teams within policing. Our operating model seeks to optimise the use of data analytics; bringing together large data sets and promoting the automation of intelligence gathering processes. This in turn provides advanced tools to our TOEX Intelligence Analysts which enable them to work at a faster pace with much broader data sets and resources.

 

To perform your job well, you will create auditable data products with clear provenance to the Intelligence Analysts, as well as developing automated tools which replicate the most time-consuming manual processes, commonly used within intelligence gathering.

 

We are inviting applications from candidates with experience in the data analysis field, experience of technical platforms such as Sequel/SQL, O35 in particular Visual Basic, Power BI and MS Azure. We recognise that the knowledge and skills we are seeking are often ‘self-taught’ and for that reason we are not asking for formal qualifications.

 

If you are new to law enforcement and the world of intelligence, we will ensure that you are given a solid grounding in UK policing including introducing you to the many systems and tools, which we employ to track the activities of organised crime groups. If you have strong analytical mind set and sharp attention to detail, we would be pleased to receive your application.
