Join our team as a Insights Officer
Location: Hybrid – currently 2 days per week required onsite in Stafford (Tues/Thurs)
Hours: Part time, 19.5 hours per week
Salary: £28,000 pro rata (£16,800 actual salary)
Are you naturally curious about what sits behind the data, not just the headline?
We are looking for a thoughtful, analytical and creative Insights Officer to help shape how we use evidence, data and lived experience to influence change across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys turning information into meaningful insight that can help challenge inequality and support better decisions. If you’re energised by asking questions, spotting patterns and helping organisations better understand the communities they serve, then this role could be for you.
We’re Together Active, a charity working across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to make it easier for people to be active in ways that fit their lives.
We focus on the systems that shape who gets included and who doesn’t. That means looking beyond individual behaviours to understand how policy, funding, culture and place influence people’s choices, freedoms and access to movement.
We don’t deliver programmes or duplicate what’s already working. Instead, we connect people, influence decision-makers, and help good work take root especially in the communities where inequality is most deeply felt.
We’re looking for an Insights Officer to join our growing team.
About the Role
This is a varied and insight-led role where your work will directly support Together Active’s strategic priorities and decision-making.
You’ll help us build and strengthen the evidence base behind our work by collecting, analysing and interpreting both quantitative and qualitative information. Working across teams, you’ll help ensure our policy, advocacy and programme development work is grounded in robust evidence and informed by the real experiences of communities.
What makes this role particularly exciting is the opportunity to shape how insight is captured and used across the organisation. You’ll have the freedom to build practical tools, dashboards and reporting approaches that help colleagues make sense of complex information and identify where change is needed most.
Your work will include tracking trends, supporting evaluation, analysing community insight, and helping us better understand how physical activity contributes to healthier, more connected communities.
We’d absolutely love to hear from you if you bring:
- Genuine curiosity and enjoy interrogating data rather than simply reporting it
- Confidence working with both qualitative and quantitative insight
- Ability to communicate findings in clear, engaging and accessible ways
- Experience creating dashboards, trackers, reports or visualisations
- A collaborative mindset and ability to work across teams and stakeholders
- Strong judgement about how insight can support better decisions and influence change
- Creativity and initiative when solving problems or exploring new approaches
- Commitment to social justice and reducing inequality across our communities
Experience with tools such as Power BI, Tableau, SPSS, R or CRM systems would be welcomed, but no single background is necessarily ‘the right one’, so please don’t rule yourself out without a conversation.
Experience in research, evaluation, policy, data analysis, community insight, public health or the voluntary sector are all relevant and welcome.
