About the role

• Experience managing GIS systems and supporting staff to make the best use of them
• Experience creating spatial data pipelines, maps and visualisations which translate spatial data into valuable and actionable insights.

• A diverse workforce that reflects our community
• Flexibility of hybrid working and being able to have a good work-life balance
• No one day is ever the same and you’ll get to work across a wide range of services.

In return you will benefit from:

• A generous holiday allowance of 28 paid days, rising to 33 days (after 5 years) plus bank holidays
• Membership of the excellent Local Government Pension Scheme
• Standard 36 hour week (7.2 hours per day, Monday to Friday)

• Comprehensive range of staff benefits such as childcare vouchers, new technology schemes, Cyclesheme, interest-free loans on annual travel cards, discounts at leisure centres (Better), restaurants, shops and other local establishments.

Where we work

You will be expected to come into our offices in the Hackney Service Centre to work with your team for a minimum of two days a month, however many of us prefer to come in more frequently. Like many organisations, our hybrid arrangements are evolving and you may be expected to work from the office more frequently in future.
