NDTi - National Development Team for Inclusion

We're #hiring a new Evaluation and Learning Lead. Apply today or share this post with your network.

We do not often have new roles to advertise at NDTi therefore we are delighted to share we are recruiting for an Evaluation and Learning Lead. Are you an experienced evaluator looking for a supportive, flexible employer who is making a real difference to people’s lives? We are seeking to appoint an Evaluation and Learning Lead with at least three years of experience of delivering leading edge practice in relation to evaluation and learning activities to join our friendly and growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated individual to design and deliver evaluation projects within a social change organisation working to enable people at risk of exclusion, due to age or disability, to live the life they choose. Evidencing impact and outcomes cuts across all the work that NDTi does. Our research and evaluation team take a values-based approach to our programme of work, combining methodological rigour with a practical understanding of the real world in which supports and public services are delivered. Our evaluation work is grounded in theory-based and realist approaches that seek to answer the fundamental questions of how, why and in what context, an intervention works. To apply please follow this link to an online application form to apply. https://lnkd.in/eAqPDjzk The closing date for completed applications is 10am on Monday 25th November 2024. NDTi care about and value diversity in our workplace and is committed to equality of opportunity. Currently, our team is not sufficiently reflective of the diversity of the communities and people we strive to create positive change for. We want to redress this imbalance and recognise the positive value of diversity, promote equality and challenge unfair discrimination. We aim at all times to recruit the person who is most suited to the job and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – men and women, people of all ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions and beliefs. However, we particularly encourage applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as presently these groups are underrepresented across our organisation.

My Life My Choice members Benjamin McCay, Kumudu and Katie worked on the STOMP and STAMP project launched by NHS England which aims to stop the overuse of psychotropic medicines for people with a learning disability. Ben, Kumudu and Katie helped to analyse some of the findings and thought about who it would be important to involve in the project. They all agreed that making sure that people with learning disabilities were not over medicated was really important, and felt all staff involved with this should receive more training. 👇 See the full report below. #NHS #Healthcare #Learningdisabilities
