Data Specialists required to help improve outcomes for children and young people
C4EO is recruiting professionals (Data Specialists) from across the children and
young people’s sector who can demonstrate expertise and a track record of achievement
in interpreting and implementing data to help develop Children and Young People’s
plans in local authorities.
The ADCS has given its support to the C4EO Data Specialist model and directors are
asked to consider encouraging staff to apply. It would also be appreciated if these
opportunities could be shared with Children’s Trust partners and Local Strategic
Partnerships who may also be interested in supporting or receiving assistance from
the scheme.
Becoming a Data Specialist is a rewarding and developmental experience. Successful
applicants are trained to use the data C4EO has collected regarding the theme areas.
This knowledge, combined with that of Sector Specialists, will be used to deliver
individually tailored support as requested by Directors of Children’s Services to
help local authorities and Children’s Trusts develop solutions to challenges and
improve outcomes for children and young people.
With the endorsement of their director or chief executive, successful applicants
will be trained and accredited by C4EO and receive support throughout their period
of work with the centre. In return, it is typically requested that the individual
is released to work for the centre for about 25 days over an 12 month period. Backfill
funding is available for the ‘loaning’ organisation, which may also choose to receive
help from one or more Sector Specialists.
For information about Data Specialist roles and how to apply, visit the Sector Specialists section of the website.
Alternatively, please contact Sue Rowley, Assistant Director for C4EO on 020 7843 6358.
