Work closely with ACS and Public Health colleagues to put in place appropriate quantitative data collection processes to meet the needs of the evaluation
Liaise with analyst colleagues in ACS and Public Health to ensure robust analysis of quantitative data
Undertake qualitative data collection, transcription and analysis using appropriate methods
Keep ACS and Public Health colleagues informed of the progress of the evaluation through verbal and written updates and attendance at relevant group meetings as required, including regular attendance of the monthly Public Health Evidence & Intelligence Team meeting and relevant stakeholder meetings
Present the findings of the evaluation in a highquality report which includes recommendations and robust conclusions relating to the impact of multiagency working on service users with complex needs to improve health, housing and wellbeing outcomes
Disseminate the findings of the evaluation to senior managers, commissioners, and stakeholders through verbal presentations, as required
