Summary
About the job This is a senior post, accountable to Public Health and funded from the Public Health Grant but informs decision-making across organisations. This post title includes analyst, in part to denote a greater emphasis on quantitative work, but at this senior level the postholder will need a breadth of analytical and research skills, and knowledge, so will need strong quantitative and qualitative skills. The postholder will design, undertake, and disseminate analyses, research, evaluation, and information activities that help to ensure West Sussex County Council is able to provide effective services to the public. The postholder will also advise others undertaking their own work. They will develop and implement agreed / recommended strategies that ensure analyses, research, evaluation, and information activities are meaningful, inclusive and fully taken into account in decision-making processes. Given the level of demand for research and analysis, the unit has divided work between a number of posts, this does not mean each post exclusively works on a specific subject, age group or geographic area but this provides a way of broadly allocating work, and this helps align unit staff with PH Consultants, lead managers and portfolios across Public Health. The first two posts are divided by age group, with a principal analyst focussed on adults, and one on children and young people. The third post has a focus on the environment (including climate change). For one of the posts, a person with a qualification, and or experience, of health economics would be preferred, this is currently shown against the environment post. 1.
