Children’s Ground is working to create an environment where families realise their aspirations for the next generation of children to be free from trauma and suffering, enjoy equity and safety, be able to grow into adulthood happy and healthy, and have agency over their social, cultural, political and economic life.
The Data & Evaluation Officer will be responsible for supporting the implementation of local data collection processes and day-to-day management of the Children’s Ground data system, with oversight and support from the Research & Evaluation (R&E) Coordinators. This includes supporting staff in achieving high quality data collection and undertaking regular data quality checks, with staff and within the data system.
A key part of the role will be extracting standard and targeted data reports for communities, teams and the region. This position will contribute to data extraction for our operations in both Central Australia and the Top End. The focus of our monitoring and evaluation is to evidence the efficacy of the Children’s Ground Approach and system. Key to this is the data collected as part of our longitudinal evaluation of impact.
Children’s Ground is committed to community led practice that privileges First Nations culture. All First Nations and Western staff have data collection roles and responsibilities. Working with all staff, this role will support the continued culture of locally relevant and robust monitoring, evaluation, research and development.
You will have demonstrated experience in high-quality data collection, entry and analysis and quality assurance processes. You will also have a solid understanding and commitment to safe and secure data management practices. Community experience, preferably with First Nations communities would be beneficial.
