RESEARCHER – social care data
London: c. £30,000 to £37,000
Use your quantitative skills to improve public services
The National Audit Office is the UK’s leading public sector watchdog, reporting to Parliament on the handling of billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money. We produce some 60 Value for Money (VFM) reports every year on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of government funded initiatives – from helicopters to hospitals. Our work leads directly to improvements in public services, and you’ll be at the heart of that.
We are developing our programme of value-for-money studies which have a focus on locally delivered services including health and social care. We are, therefore, looking to appoint a Researcher with strong experience in the analysis of social care data used in the development and delivery of social care services in the local delivery context.
The successful candidate will work as part of our VFM audit teams, which may include qualified accountants and sector specialists, and will help to produce high quality analysis and reports on time and on budget. No experience of audit is necessary but a rigorous approach and track record of successfully completing high quality research are essential. Qualified at least to Masters level in a numerate discipline such as the social sciences, you will be ready to work as part of a team, applying your expertise in social care data research and your hands-on experience of how things work at local service delivery level, to a range of value-for-money studies and audit work.
If you can help us deliver our challenging programme of work, please go to www.jobtrain.co.uk/nao/vacancies.aspx to find out more and to apply.
The closing date for applications is 5pm on 23 April.
