Centre for Homelessness Impact exists to improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness through better use of data and evidence.
IN A NUTSHELL
We are looking for a knowledgeable, skilled and creative Implementation Lead to design and deliver activities to help people working in and around homelessness use evidence and data to enhance their impact of their work.
You will also act as a leader within the Implementation Team on work relating to policy analysis and public affairs, including specialising in deepening and enhancing our impact in the UK and particularly in Scotland. You will assist in feeding practice insights into our research agenda, and in our work to map promising and effective practice.
You will work in a client-centred way to make a big impact on the lives of people experiencing homelessness by developing relationships and leading projects that help local areas identify the right problems and use evidence to design better solutions to homelessness. This work will involve working with local authorities, central government, and third sector organisations.
WHY IS THIS ROLE IMPORTANT FOR THE CENTRE’S WORK?
You will be supporting our What Works Community, our core implementation initiative which aims to build capacity within local areas across the UK to use evidence, data and to achieve breakthrough and sustainable results to address homelessness.
We are building an agile team to work closely with our partners (e.g. local authorities; regional and national government; third sector organisations), understand their context, needs and ambitions, and work with our multi-disciplinary team, delivery associates and programme partners to design and deliver solutions that make a real difference to those affected by homelessness, as well as people working towards a future without it.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
You will be part of the Implementation Team within the Centre, reporting to the Head of Implementation. By working creatively with multidisciplinary colleagues and with a focus on practical solutions, you will design and deliver ways of scaling good practice and helping organisations and people implement practice underpinned by robust evidence and trial promising interventions.
