The Social Services Regulator (SSR) is an independent statutory authority that exists to safeguard the rights of children and young people as well as people who use social services in Victoria.
The SSR regulates the Social Services Standards, the Child Safe Standards (for organisations without a sector specific co-regulator as well as the social services sector), and also administers the Worker and Carer Exclusion Scheme (WCES), Reportable Conduct Scheme (RCS) and Working with Children Check (WWCC) scheme and NDIS Worker Screening Check.
The Social Services Regulator takes an integrated and intelligence driven approach to identifying, preventing and excluding unsafe people from working with children and young people, as well as ensuring organisations that work with children and young people keep children safe from abuse and harm by meeting the Child Safe Standards.
Now that multiple child safety regulation and worker screening schemes are under one roof at the SSR, we are implementing changes to the way that these schemes operate, including new and expanded powers to exclude people that pose a risk, from working with children.
As a co-regulator of the Child Safe Standards, the Social Services Regulator works with other co-regulators of the Child Safe Standards including the Department of Health, Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA), Victorian Early Childhood Regulation Authority (VECRA), and Workforce Inspectorate Victoria to keep children safe from harm and abuse.
THE ROLE
The Senior Business Intelligence Analyst is a hands-on data professional who helps build, run and improve the data platform behind SSR's reporting. You will design and develop data pipelines in Azure Data Factory and Databricks, model data from SSR's regulatory schemes into trusted, reusable datasets, and deliver analysis and Power BI reporting that operational, compliance and executive audiences rely on.
SSR uses a risk-based, intelligence-led approach to protect the safety and rights of children, young people and adults experiencing vulnerability. Your work helps the right information reach the right people at the right time. You will be accountable for the quality, governance and security of the data you build.
This role suits someone who enjoys solving data problems end to end, from understanding a business need to delivering a working, documented and secure solution, and who can explain what the data means to people who are not technical.
ACCOUNTABILITIES INCLUDE
- Data platform and pipelines: support the design, build and operation of SSR's data platform (Databricks, Azure Data Factory and Azure SQL), ensuring data is effectively and securely collected, stored, processed and made available for analysis and decision making. Design conceptual and logical data models, defining data structures and relationships.
- Automation and integration: design scripts and tools that automatically extract large volumes of data from data sources to improve efficiency and availability, and define data flow, usage and integration processes within the organisation.
- Enterprise reporting: develop and maintain enterprise reporting and prepare and provide datasets and Power BI reports for operational, compliance and executive use, departmental accountability reporting, responses to oversight inquiries, media requests, questions on notice, and other regular and ad hoc requests.
