The role
The Role:
The Community Support Unit at Southwark Council delivers front line services to vulnerable migrant groups in the borough. The work of the Unit has expanded rapidly during the last few years due to increased demand brought on by various international humanitarian and refugee crises. The kind of work undertaken by Community Support is highly politically sensitive and subject to scrutiny in media.
About Southwark:
We are the largest local authority social landlord in London, managing 55,000 homes lived in by 40% of Southwark’s residents. We are home to over 18,300 businesses including iconic London venues and social enterprises and we have a young, diverse, and growing population.
At Southwark we are committed to making our borough just and fair and are taking positive action to tackle inequalities. Our residents and communities are our greatest asset and the passion we have for Southwark is shared by millions of Londoners who enjoy our outstanding cultural offer, use our hospitals and attend our universities. Our refreshed borough plan and focus on Southwark Stands Together, (which is our work with Southwark’s communities and the council’s staff to tackle racism, injustice and inequality) underpins all that we do.
About You:
You will be responsible for managing the Community Support Unit's data and providing insights that support decision-making.
You will bring together and streamline the various systems and databases now in use in order to bring about a greater conformity in what, how, where and by whom data is captured and recorded.
You will identify trends and provide regular reports to help shape the development of services.
