Role:
This post sits within their Performance, Insight and Improvement team (PII), which is a multi-disciplinary team of four analysts and improvement specialists working across Adult Social Care and Health. The service helps operational teams to robustly monitor and improve performance and quality, to gain more sophisticated insight into the needs and experiences of residents, and to design and deliver lasting improvements across services.
They use a range of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to understand current and future needs of the borough’s population – from delivering a more dynamic Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), to giving them a granular understanding of the experience of those accessing Adult Social Care and Health services within the borough.
The postholder will handle a wide range of projects spanning from understanding unmet need, service evaluations, and exploring resident’s views and behaviours on a variety of Adult Social Care and Health topics. While it is expected that the postholder will be well-versed in quantitative methodologies (mostly with primary data collection methods), the post is largely focused on implementing qualitative methodologies, a new push for the team. You will be an advisor to services and other stakeholder groups on what type of research will deliver maximum insight within a given time-frame and you will have experience designing and implementing those. You will also be comfortable working with quant analysts to synthesise data and narrative to create compelling stories that describe the research problem in depth and inform decision making.

Candidate:
