You will have experience of working as a business analyst leading reviews to design, test and build improved services in a local government context.

Just as important as your background is your mindset – we’re committed to putting residents at the heart of what we do and designing and delivering inclusive services that work for everyone. You’ll need to be committed to doing the best for local people and share our values of being open and inclusive, ambitious and proud, and pioneering and proactive.

Hackney is one of London’s most diverse and exciting communities and these new roles provide a great opportunity to make a real impact. We know that to deliver real, long-term change and transformation for residents, we need teams of talented, innovative and forward-thinking professionals to help us achieve this.

If you have the technical skills we’re looking for, experience in local government and you share our values please get in touch.

As a Council, our most outstanding asset is our staff, who are highly dedicated to serving our residents and committed to our goals as an organisation.
