Vacancy Details

The White Horse Federation is a multi-academy trust of primary schools, secondary schools, and special schools. Founded in 2012 our federation is now among the largest multi-academy trusts in South West England. At the heart of The White Horse Federation is our united belief in collaborating to provide first-class education for a wide range of young people. Our schools embrace values-based education to ensure young people from all walks of life are supported with the skills and qualities they’ll need to succeed in the future. We couldn’t do what we do without our fantastic Central Office staff.

We invite qualified candidates to contribute meaningfully to the lives of young people while developing their professional skills within a progressive organisation. We are seeking a dedicated, proactive, and detail-oriented Data Officer to join our Central Trust Data Team to support of two secondary schools—Melksham Oak Community School and Devizes School. The remaining day may be completed remotely, with occasional travel required to our central offices in Swindon.

This is no ordinary data role. You’ll enjoy a stimulating and varied week, spending two days at each school, working closely with inspiring school leaders and our Trust Data Manager to ensure data is not only accurate and insightful, but truly transformative. Your expertise will have a direct impact, empowering schools to make informed decisions that boost student achievement and wellbeing.

As a valued member of our friendly central team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the daily life of each school—building strong relationships, tackling challenges head-on, and seeing the results of your work unfold in real time. This is a fantastic chance to expand your skills within a supportive, purpose-driven environment, where your contributions are genuinely valued.

Previous experience in a similar role would be an asset, but above all, we welcome candidates who are eager to learn, collaborate, and grow with us. If you’re passionate about data, love working with people, and want a role where your skills are truly appreciated and make a real impact, we would be delighted to hear from you.
