Senior Data Analyst (Report Development) - Fixed Term Contract until June 2021

Welcome to Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets Council supports the UK’s most dynamic place. We are working to make our borough a safer, cleaner and fairer place to live.

Tower Hamlets is the second most densely populated local authority in the country.

We are a borough of contrasts. As with any inner city area, Tower Hamlets has issues including crime, pollution and ensuring new developments support our existing communities as well as new ones. There are great disparities of wealth and our borough also has significant health problems.

We are becoming smarter, more agile and strategic in our approach to delivering services and how we work as an organisation.

We need to be brave, take more risks and deliver change at a faster pace. We push ourselves to improve by measuring our outcomes and using external reviews.
