We are a friendly, forward thinking, proactive team, ensuring that requirements for workforce reporting are achieved and that we are supporting innovative technologies across HR.
We are seeking someone with advanced knowledge and experience of Microsoft Office, particularly Power BI and Microsoft Excel, combined with knowledge and experience of HR/Workforce reporting.

Other workforce systems are used to report bank & agency usage, training records and recruitment data.
The post holder will be responsible for using these systems to produce comprehensive workforce information for internal and external stakeholders, and to develop and enhance existing reporting methods and formats.
