Working for #TeamNP

Our purpose at Team NP is simple: to keep people safe and to fight crime. But it takes more than officers alone to do the job – and that’s where our 2,000-strong team of police staff and 200 volunteers come in.

As one of the largest police forces in England, we have a huge variety of departments and specialisms offering you endless opportunities. From mentoring and coaching schemes to leadership development programmes; we’ll give you the support, training and time to carve out the career you always wanted.

As one of the top 50 UK inclusive employers and a disability confident employer, we promote a culture of respect in the workplace so everyone can feel seen, heard and valued.

Above all else, here at Team NP, we can offer you a career that is so much more than just a job; it’s a chance to be part of something that really matters.

The Role

Here at Northumbria Police, we think our region is amazing! It takes a great deal of people from different backgrounds, with diverse skills and experience to serve our force area effectively. This could be the perfect time for you to join us in our Workforce Planning and Insights Department as a Workforce Planning Analyst.

Working as a Workforce Planning Analyst, you will be key in ensuring we have a robust workforce with the right skills to meet current and future demand.

What you’ll do

This isn’t your typical analyst role. Northumbria Police has a wide range of roles and skills that are unique to policing, and in your role as Workforce Planning Analyst, you will be working as part of a team to provide accurate and timely analysis of our workforce through people intelligence and metrics. Using your strong understanding of workforce planning principles and methodologies, you will create detailed capacity and capability forecasts, both short/medium and long term.

In your role, you will use your workforce planning, data, and statistical analysis skills to create forecasting and modelling tools which will allow you to undertake effective interpretation, skills-based demand analysis, scenario planning, and predictive forecasting to ensure current and future capacity and capability requirements meet our organisational needs.

People intelligence and metrics are the key to the success of our team and enable us to develop compelling, data-driven approaches, narratives, and recommendations that improve the visibility we have of our workforce, improve performance, and effectively plan to meet the capacity and capability needs of the force. You will be using your data insights to create products that showcase your presentation and data visualisation skills across mixed media.

Key Responsibilities

• You will inform, based on appropriate evidence, attraction, recruitment, training, and development initiatives through producing and maintaining detailed and dynamic people intelligence and analyses.
• Design and deliver effective workforce planning, forecasting, and management solutions that support medium-term and long-term organisational needs.
• Development of comprehensive succession plans and skills-based analysis to ensure resources are identified and developed, in a timely manner, to help understand pipelines across the force area.
• Attend and participate in workforce meetings, using data visualisation and presentation skills to support corporate decision making to meet operational and strategic resourcing objectives.
• Engage with key stakeholders across various departments to gather and share information to meet business objectives and support the delivery of force resourcing strategy and associated plans.
• Ensure modifications and system changes are up to date, fit for purpose, and support the maintenance/development of core systems that underpin the workforce planning function.
