About the role

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UK's largest producer of official statistics, covering a range of key economic, social and demographic topics. These include measuring changes in the value of the UK economy, estimating the size, geographic distribution, and characteristics of the population, and providing indicators of price inflation, employment, earnings, crime, and migration. Business Data Operations Division (BDOD) is a large and diverse area of 400 staff collecting economic statistics survey data from over a million businesses a year. It is the foundation for most of the ONS core economic outputs, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Balance of Payments (BOP) and as such is a great place to build your career at ONS. As a Business Operations Administrator, you will be a member of the Operational Delivery Profession (ODP). ODP is the largest profession in the Civil Service. ODP's 200,000+ members work in a wide range of operational delivery roles across government, providing essential services that support and protect UK citizens at home and overseas. They help to make ONS a great place to work. As a member, ODP supports you by providing learning and development opportunities, career pathways, tools and resources to help develop your skills and progress your career. This is an exciting opportunity to join a modern, innovative and inclusive Civil Service profession that sits at the heart of public service delivery. As a Business Operations Administrator, your primary role will be to collect and validate a range of monthly, quarterly and annual business survey data. Obtaining timely and quality data and recording follow-up information to support any changes in that data will be key. Customer/stakeholder engagement is also very important in this role. A typical day will involve working autonomously to prioritise your work, making informed decisions relating to changes in data through interpreting that data and investigating anomalies. You will be expected to document all information gathered via our internal IT systems and databases and escalate any issues that you are unable to resolve. The focus of the work may differ between posts. For example, there may be a focus on analysis, building relationship management with respondents, enforcement activities as well as supporting activities such as occasional post opening on site. You will also be expected to take part in a 5pm cover rota.
