About the job

Job summary

From Magna Carta to the latest Act of Parliament, be a part of the ongoing development of a Statute Book spanning 800 years.

The Legislation Services Team at The National Archives is responsible for legislation.gov.uk, the official home of UK legislation. A free service covering new and revised legislation for the whole of the UK, it is a vital resource which has transformed public access to the law, and how legislation is created and understood.

Legislation has undergone a data revolution, with digital technology... enabling new ways of creating, amending, researching and understanding the law. legislation.gov.uk has been at the heart of this. The service is driven by its data – we are a data-first service – the legislation documents are managed and published in a variety of data formats, and we are creating new datasets all the time. We have data showing how laws interact with each other, and change over time, where they apply geographically, and how often they are viewed online. We have created new tools to enable the research and analysis of legislation – asking questions of the statute book that it’s never been possible to answer before.

The Legislation Services team is looking for a new Data Analyst who will enjoy exploring and analysing the huge amount of legislation and website data generated by legislation.gov.uk. We’re passionate about providing a better service to legislation users, and take a data-based approach to ongoing service development. Through the analysis you will provide, you will have the opportunity to help us enhance our service, our ways of working, and improving the accessibility of legislation itself.

Job description

Full job description attached (see below).

Person specification

About the role

Reporting to the Legislation Data Scientist, you will take ownership of, and responsibility for, the production of ongoing data analytics and reports to support the editorial and publishing processes for legislation.gov.uk, ensuring that the service is maintained to a high standard of currency and quality, and meets the needs of our users.

You will ensure that statistics are produced in response to queries from users and a range of stakeholders in The National Archives and across government, often at short notice and to tight deadlines. This will require you to understand the user need behind the question and be able to explain the results clearly and accurately, often to people unfamiliar with the technology. You will create and run regular bespoke queries of legislation data, including XML and RDF, as well as Elastic Search and Kibana.

You will support the Legislation Data Scientist in supporting the growing legislation data community – including researchers, academics and commercial re-users of legislation.gov.uk data. You will also help with the creation of new data-sets, data services and policies to ensure we meet the specific needs of data users.

You will contribute to the ongoing development of the legislation.gov.uk platform, providing data to support business decisions, as well as leading, and contributing data expertise to, service development projects.

About you

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build on their data analysis skills, or to move into a career in data analytics, by helping us to expand the application and value of our legislation data, finding new audiences and providing a valuable service to government and the public. This role will give you the opportunity to become proficient in a range of different database structures and technologies, and gain experience in the provision of government digital services.

Legislation publishing is a specialist area with very specific challenges, which has led us to develop a complex and unique platform using state-of-the-art technologies. You will have an enquiring mind, an interest in the application of data to real-world problem solving, and the technical skills required to do so, including advanced Excel and data manipulation skills, and experience working with XML and/or HTML. You will have an appetite for experimenting with new technologies and approaches, proactively seeking out new ways of doing things and learning new skills in support of our goals.

We are looking for someone who is personable, flexible, willing to learn, detail-focused, a great team player – whilst being able to work independently – with the ability to convey complicated technical ideas in an easy to understand way. Any first-hand experience of working with legal or regulatory materials would be helpful, however, more important is a genuine passion for what we’re trying to achieve, and curiosity about the potential of legislation data.

This is a full time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Department.

A combination of onsite and home working is available; applicants should be able to regularly travel to our Kew site.

We would particularly like to encourage applicants from backgrounds currently underrepresented in archives, including those who identify as Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT+), from Black, Asian and minority ethnic cultural backgrounds, those who are neurodivergent, and those with hidden or visible disabilities.

How to apply:

To submit your application please click the 'Apply now' button on this page. You will be asked to write a personal statement and upload your CV. In your personal statement please explain, using examples, how you meet the essential criteria below. You may draw on knowledge, skills, abilities, experience gained from paid work, domestic responsibilities, education, leisure interests and voluntary activities. Please note selection for interview will largely be based on the information you provide in this section so please make full use of the 1250 word count.

Essential – you must be able to demonstrate the following:
• Advanced Excel, data manipulation and data visualisation skills.
• Experience extracting value from large complex datasets
• Experience working with XML and/or HTML, RDF and/or running SparQL or SQL queries
• The ability to interact effectively and flexibly as part of a team, providing support and assistance to other team members working in a variety of roles.

• Excellent attention to detail and effective time management.

About The Job

Job summary

From Magna Carta to the latest Act of Parliament, be a part of the ongoing development of a Statute Book spanning 800 years.

The Legislation Services Team at The National Archives is responsible for legislation.gov.uk, the official home of UK legislation. A free service covering new and revised legislation for the whole of the UK, it is a vital resource which has transformed public access to the law, and how legislation is created and understood.

Legislation has undergone a data revolution, with digital technology enabling new ways of creating, amending, researching and understanding the law. legislation.gov.uk has been at the heart of this. The service is driven by its data – we are a data-first service – the legislation documents are managed and published in a variety of data formats, and we are creating new datasets all the time. We have data showing how laws interact with each other, and change over time... where they apply geographically, and how often they are viewed online. We have created new tools to enable the research and analysis of legislation – asking questions of the statute book that it’s never been possible to answer before.

The Legislation Services team is looking for a new Data Analyst who will enjoy exploring and analysing the huge amount of legislation and website data generated by legislation.gov.uk. We’re passionate about providing a better service to legislation users, and take a data-based approach to ongoing service development. Through the analysis you will provide, you will have the opportunity to help us enhance our service, our ways of working, and improving the accessibility of legislation itself.

Job Description

Full job description attached (see below).

Person specification

About The Role

Reporting to the Legislation Data Scientist, you will take ownership of, and responsibility for, the production of ongoing data analytics and reports to support the editorial and publishing processes for legislation.gov.uk, ensuring that the service is maintained to a high standard of currency and quality, and meets the needs of our users.

You will ensure that statistics are produced in response to queries from users and a range of stakeholders in The National Archives and across government, often at short notice and to tight deadlines. This will require you to understand the user need behind the question and be able to explain the results clearly and accurately, often to people unfamiliar with the technology. You will create and run regular bespoke queries of legislation data, including XML and RDF, as well as Elastic Search and Kibana.

You will support the Legislation Data Scientist in supporting the growing legislation data community – including researchers, academics and commercial re-users of legislation.gov.uk data. You will also help with the creation of new data-sets, data services and policies to ensure we meet the specific needs of data users.

You will contribute to the ongoing development of the legislation.gov.uk platform, providing data to support business decisions, as well as leading, and contributing data expertise to, service development projects.

About You

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build on their data analysis skills, or to move into a career in data analytics, by helping us to expand the application and value of our legislation data, finding new audiences and providing a valuable service to government and the public. This role will give you the opportunity to become proficient in a range of different database structures and technologies, and gain experience in the provision of government digital services.

Legislation publishing is a specialist area with very specific challenges, which has led us to develop a complex and unique platform using state-of-the-art technologies. You will have an enquiring mind, an interest in the application of data to real-world problem solving, and the technical skills required to do so, including advanced Excel and data manipulation skills, and experience working with XML and/or HTML. You will have an appetite for experimenting with new technologies and approaches, proactively seeking out new ways of doing things and learning new skills in support of our goals.

We are looking for someone who is personable, flexible, willing to learn, detail-focused, a great team player – whilst being able to work independently – with the ability to convey complicated technical ideas in an easy to understand way. Any first-hand experience of working with legal or regulatory materials would be helpful, however, more important is a genuine passion for what we’re trying to achieve, and curiosity about the potential of legislation data.

This is a full time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Department.

A combination of onsite and home working is available; applicants should be able to regularly travel to our Kew site.

• Experience working with XML and/or HTML, RDF and/or running SparQL or SQL queries
• The ability to interact effectively and flexibly as part of a team, providing support and assistance to other team members working in a variety of roles.
