Description

Compass Wellbeing is a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to tackling social inequalities and improving the quality of life in local communities. https://compasswellbeing.co.uk/ 

Compass Wellbeing, in collaboration with the East London Foundation NHS Trust (ELFT) Charity, is running a two-year programme aimed at supporting mental and physical health service users in East London and Bedfordshire to be upskilled to improve their chances of gaining employment.  The programme focuses on key areas such as social networks, digital accessibility, skills development and employability.  Through this initiative, 400 service users (working-age adults) will receive support to develop employment skills, adopt healthier lifestyles, gain qualifications, and boost confidence. 

We are seeking 3-4 students to help design the evaluation framework for the programme, offering a valuable opportunity to apply evaluation and impact measurement skills to a meaningful real-world initiative.  For those interested, the role may extend beyond the design phase, providing the chance to further develop and implement the evaluation as the project progresses. 

Duties
  • Design a system for tracking and measuring progress against programme indicators, including health improvements, engagement, and satisfaction 
  • Quantitative Research: Design surveys to track key performance indicators (e.g., employment outcomes, health improvements) to measure programme impact 
  • Qualitative Research: Design interview and focus groups guides, to gather insights on service users’ experiences and the programme's social impact 
  • Evaluation Framework: Collaborate on creating a comprehensive evaluation framework that integrates both quantitative and qualitative methods, ensuring alignment with programme goals and key outcomes
