• Record and collate findings, case studies and interviews with partners and families

• Collate and monitor data from across the ELC's workstreams, for sharing with partners, funders and the wider organisation (this will include performing relevant administrative tasks, such as inputting survey data)

• Build and maintain networks with data and evaluation leads from across our local partner organisations, acting as a local point of contact for early years data and evaluation work

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Experience of qualitative research, including designing and conducting interviews/focus groups and qualitative data analysis.

What we offer you:

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
