Supporting the business through technology and innovation – that’s when it hits home

As an IS team we are setting out to be more digitally focussed, using the latest technologies, whilst ensuring that our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Our strategy is set, our direction is clear. What comes next is to apply our skills and experience through brilliant team work to innovate, design, and implement systems that deliver real business value.  We’ve got an excellent team foundation to build upon as our technical portfolio develops and expands; that’s where you come in.

Here in Home Groups Information Systems (IS) department, we work collaboratively with our stakeholders to gather their requirements, to develop into innovative reporting solutions. Working with our architects and our technical build teams, you’ll contribute to the design, and build our data warehousing environments. Your work will help our data and reporting teams provide the business with the insights they need to make informed decisions.

As a business we’ve realised that our current reporting solutions don’t give us the full insights we need, and this is where you’ll have the opportunity to help us shape our future state. We‘ve identified that Power BI as the way forward for us, and you will be heavily involved in shaping how that data gets consumed by Power BI. Alongside the Power Bi project, you’ll also manage our existing SQL database estate, so plenty to keep you busy!!

About our team

You’ll be working in a large team of sociable and lively Service Improvement professionals for Matt, our IS Technical Delivery Manager.  He’s a massive football fan (both as an armchair watcher and on the pitch in his weekly 5 a side kickaround). When not watching or playing footie, Matt loves hard rock and heavy metal and is already planning his next gigs and festivals. He is also responsible for ensuring that we deliver the IS Services the business needs to succeed, driving continual service improvement and ensuring IS adds real value…

Working hours

Here at Home Group we believe flexibility works both ways. Our focus is on getting the job done, not your working hours! It’s important to us that you’re in the office so we can work collaboratively and share best practices amongst the team. However there will be times, when you might work from home to concentrate on a particular piece of work. Throughout it’s the team’s unwritten rule that you attend the important appointments in life, be it your child’s school play, your partner’s graduation, or to get your new fridge delivered. Working with Richard, you can fit these around your working day or use your flexi to take the time off.

About you

You’ll join our in-house technical team. Using your great people and communication skills, you’ll help us develop our database capability by collaborating with your (occasionally less technical) colleagues to share your know how! You’ll also use your partnership skills to work with the business, and support us to deliver a great service.

In a perfect world it would be great if you had all the right certificates, however we appreciate that you may have the some great transferrable skills. The key technologies we are looking for you to be skilled in when you join us are in Microsoft T-SQL and ETL technologies. It would be awesome if you had experience with any of the following, but will be glad to support your development in them Progress Database, Oracle PL-SQL, Oracle Data Integrator, and Linux.

You are creative, passionate and ambitious, you’ll help us to deliver solutions that exceed expectations! Together we’ll take the business on a journey to provide the clarity it needs!

Here at Home Group we have invested heavily in our future and use current and up to date equipment. You’ll be issued with the latest kit, which could include a Surface Pro and mobile.
