Power BI Project Officer

Do you want to use data to spark improvement where it matters most and support teams across Compass to make it happen?

We are looking for a Power BI Project Officer to join our Finance and Corporate Services team, within our skilled Data Insights and Intelligence function. This role is central to how Compass makes strategy driven decisions, enabling us to provide timely and meaningful insights from health data.

You'll take the lead on delivering projects using Power BI, from initiation to completion and maintenance. This includes gathering data from a variety of sources, building and managing data models, and creating dashboards and reports that are easy to understand and use. Managing the Compass Power BI Service and Data Warehouse, ensuring accuracy, security and compliance with data governance standards.

Collaboration is at the heart of the role. You’ll work with colleagues across Compass to turn data into clear, useful insights that can be shared widely. By making information easy to understand and accessible, you’ll help teams use business intelligence data to spot opportunities, learn from successes and keep driving improvements in the way we work and deliver our services. You'll also support mandatory health information returns, helping ensure Compass delivers on national requirements.

This role is varied and rewarding, with your data and reporting skills making a real difference to the services we deliver and the lives we touch.

We are looking for someone with strong technical expertise and the ability to work collaboratively across teams. You will need:

• At least 2 years of experience using Power BI to design, build and maintain reports and dashboards

• Work experience in the NHS, local authority or voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector

• Experience of managing a busy workload, balancing competing priorities and delivering to deadlines

• Strong technical skills, including experience with Power Query, DAX, SQL or Python, and knowledge of governance standards such as GDPR and Caldicott Guidelines

• Excellent personal skills, including clear communication, problem solving and the ability to explain technical concepts simply to non-technical audiences

It would be helpful but not essential if you also bring experience of NHS reporting, completion of statutory health returns, or recognised project management or Microsoft certifications.

We are seeking someone who is curious, resilient and a collaborative team player, with both the technical know-how and personal qualities to make a real impact.

If you want to use your Power BI expertise to make a positive difference in health data insights and support meaningful change across Compass, we would love to hear from you.
