Full-time Social/Public Services - Researcher

Yo, I’ll tell ya what I want. What I really, really want! – Spice Girls

We want you to help tell the story behind the data, working alongside social service agencies and community and governmental organizations on needs assessments and research/evaluation regarding various programs and services – that’s how you make an impact. It’s not all about the numbers and words we collect; it’s also about knowing how to present what they mean in an engaging way and making professional connections with our partners so they can determine the needs of those they serve and whether the services they provide are effective. Importance is placed on being able to collect and analyze data (both quantitative and qualitative), understanding what it means, and accurately relaying that information to partners. Your personal procedures and organizational methods enable you to tackle all dynamics of this position. The variety of social service and community/governmental organizations, programs, and topics you’re involved with are abundant. You are committed to assisting those organizations in seeing the value of services by properly collecting and using data to get results. You are a valuable member of our team and the community at large because of your adaptability in determining the demands for the direction of a project. If this sounds like your skillset, then apply today to start making that impact.

This position is considered a hybrid role.
