Do you know what good Social Care practice looks like? Are you interested in showcasing good practice and helping colleagues to do their best work? Do you want the chance to make a difference to the way services are delivered to improve outcomes for children, young people and their families? We'd love to hear from you., Your role will be varied and interesting. Here are some of the things you will be doing:

• Interpreting data, utilising feedback and liaising with the service to plan audit activity.
• Completing audits (both desktop and side by side with practitioners).
• Engaging with those who receive a service to ensure their voice is at the centre of all we do.
• Report writing.
• Sharing your findings in creative ways, with a wide-ranging audience, including senior leaders.
• Informing and delivering workforce development activities, such as workshops - working closely with colleagues in our Learning and Development Service and the Cambridgeshire Academy for Reaching Excellence (CARE).
• Assisting leaders in coordinating quality and performance monitoring activity within services., Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, along with our employee network 'IDEAL' and self-organised peer support groups help us to foster an inclusive, supportive and safe working environment where people feel valued, respected, and empowered. We collect relevant diversity data for monitoring as part of the recruitment process to understand the diversity of our applicants and monitor any trends throughout the recruitment processes so that we can take meaningful action.
