The Mead Educational Trust is an energetic and dynamic family of 14 primary and secondary schools in and around Leicester. As a family of schools, we leverage our collective strengths in order to make a positive difference to the life chances of children and young people and to our wider community. At the heart of all we do is a commitment to provide our pupils access to a world-class education, our schools with excellent school-to-school support, and our staff with high quality professional development.
We are looking to appoint 2 casual data analysts for 3 weeks work across the summer.

• Collaborative Design and Iteration - Work closely with TMET’s central data team to co-design the structure, layout, and functionality of dashboards, ensuring alignment with stakeholder needs.
• Quality Assurance and Consistency - Ensure consistency in data presentation across schools
Technical knowledge desired for this role:
- Understand how to organise and link tables (like pupils, assessments, and attendance) so the dashboard shows the right information in the right way.
- Know how to clean and prepare data, and create calculations and measures using Power BI
- Design dashboards that are fast, clear, and allow users to filter and explore the data easily—while keeping the data accurate and secure.
