DVSA, Senior Data Analyst, Kelly Hewitt - Department for Transport Careers

What is it like working in DVSA Digital? 

I started working for VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) in 2005. This was a predecessor to DVSA when it was formed in 2014. I joined as an Executive Officer as part of a new analytical unit and have worked my way up to now be Head of Department. I like working here because I feel in some small way, I have made a difference to the people of this country. DVSA is involved in a multitude of things all connected to road safety and no two days are the same.

What is the most exciting part of this role? 

Our Data Analysts are new roles that we have created within DVSA, so you will be joining a new team and helping to shape the work the team get involved in. We will be looking at new datasets, and try to identify new insights into existing datasets. Essentially looking at our data and how we can drive improvement to our frontline services.

Why would you join our team? 

If you enjoy working with different datasets and exploring the potential of data, then this team is the team for you. You really will feel like you are actually part of something, and will have the space and support to develop your skills in an environment that is supportive and inclusive.  There is also the added incentive, that you will be working with other data-minded professionals and will have the opportunity to broaden your skills outside of data analytics into other data-related careers.
