About the role

Do you enjoy building web-based forms, solving practical problems and using technology to make processes work better? We’re looking for a motivated graduate to join our People and Organisation Service and gain hands-on experience developing web-based forms for our HR service, alongside supporting the development of data dashboards and reports.

What you’ll be doing:

• Support the design, development, testing and maintenance of bespoke digital web forms and workflows, working with users to understand requirements and improve digital processes.
• Assist in the development, enhancement and maintenance of Power BI reports and dashboards, helping to ensure accurate, timely and meaningful data insight.
• Work with colleagues across the People & Organisation service to support systems integration, data quality and the effective flow of information between digital tools and platforms.
• Contribute to defined digital, data and improvement projects, supporting documentation, testing, user guidance and continuous improvement activity.
• Develop technical, analytical and professional skills through supervised work, training and project involvement, supporting progression into a specialist digital, data or systems role.
