Job title: Reporting Analyst

Grade: HEO
About HMCTS
His Majesty’s Court and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is an agency of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and provides the supporting administration for the judiciary across England and Wales. It delivers services to the public directly in court and tribunal buildings, remotely via business centres and some services via the internet.
HMCTS has a vision to modernise and upgrade our justice system so that it works even better for everyone, from judges and legal professionals, to witnesses, litigants, and the vulnerable victims of crime. This will help consolidate the UK’s position at the forefront of an increasingly competitive international legal market as well as ensuring access to justice for all. This is an exciting time to join the organisation and be part of work to make a real difference.
As part of this transformation, in 2021 HMCTS published its Data Strategy, setting out its ambitions to become a truly data-driven organisation. The Strategy and Analysis (S&A) Directorate supports this strategy by enabling senior leaders to make strategic, data driven business decisions.
The Performance and Reporting division exists to ensure HMCTS and MoJ have the performance information needed to understand and improve performance at both operational and strategic level. It is based in S&A and plays a key role in delivering the Data Strategy, and in supporting HMCTS’s overall service provision. We provide HMCTS, the MoJ and the Judiciary with timely, accurate and accessible operational management information and performance analysis that underpins strategic and operational decisions. We work on a cloud-based Strategic Data Platform using Power BI and R for the delivery of data and analysis.
