About The Advocacy Project

We help people speak up and make decisions about their health, wellbeing and social care. We’re here to make sure people who are vulnerable because of their circumstance can understand their rights, make effective choices about their lives and voice their concerns.

Some of the ways we do this include:

· advocacy services that make sure people can express their wishes when decisions are being made about their care or wellbeing

· user involvement projects that help organisations improve what they offer by listening to people who use their services

· local Healthwatch services, which act as health and social care champions for the areas they serve and give people a direct channel to share their feedback

Our services are independent, confidential, and free to those receiving them. Together, our teams are standing up for essential rights and supporting people to have a say on the issues that matter to them.

Sitting within SSAFA’s Welfare Operations directorate, you will be responsible for improving our approach to data within our Casework services. This will include reviewing our processes, data capture and systems and making recommendations for improvement, where appropriate. You will also provide robust evidence to support evidenced based decision-making through your data analysis and visualisation skills. Critically, you will bring this evidence to life, demonstrating what difference we make to beneficiaries. You will have the ability to discuss complex data in a way that is engaging and easy to understand for a variety of internal and external stakeholders. 

SSAFA has recently brought together colleagues in digital and data roles across the organisation to form a taskforce with the aim of using technology to help our staff and volunteers communicate, share information and collaborate, and to develop products and services so that we can reach more of the people we support increasing our impact.  This role will have the opportunity to collaborate with these colleagues to deliver this aim with a particular focus on data and systems. Your goal will be to support a culture of continuous improvement informed by the work you do.

SSAFA’s current Strategic Plan highlights, ‘Understanding Need,’ as a core area of importance for the charity. To support our work in this area, SSAFA has recently received funding to develop an impact framework for our Casework service to demonstrate the difference we make to the Armed Forces Community.  You will form a key part of the team working to deliver this.

About you 

You will need to be experienced in data analysis and visualisation and have led projects focussing on improving data. You will be a good communicator and be able to approach diverse teams to understand their current practices and future needs with regards to data.
