The Evidence and Evaluation team plays a key role in supporting evidence-informed public health providing support across the whole of OHID in relation to research, evidence and evidence reviewing, and evaluation.

**Job description**:
The role of the team is to provide strategic leadership and supporting infrastructure for research and evidence, to provide specialist advice, expertise and training on evidence and evaluation, to produce a variety of rapid evidence reviews on high priority policy topics and provide hands on support for the evaluation of major policies.

The post-holder will work across all of these areas, meaning workload is varied. Key aspects of the role will involve leading the production of rapid evidence reviews, delivering evidence-related training, and supporting and providing expertise to policy teams in the commissioning of research, evidence reviews and evaluation. The post-holder will need to develop relationships with colleagues in similar roles across DHSC and other government departments, as well as policy teams leading on key policy topics and programmes both regionally and nationally.

**Person specification**:

- Leading the delivery of rapid evidence reviews and other outputs, ensuring they are appropriately planned, delivered on time, to high quality standards and in an efficient manner.
- Leading on cross-OHID methodological work relating to rapid reviews in public health, for example in considering reporting formats and the use of GRADE.
- Providing expert methodological advice and support for the development and commissioning of research, evidence reviews and evaluations on high priority policy topics. Ensuring that outputs are timely, relevant and high quality.
- Development and delivery of training to support the use of evidence and evaluation.
- Supporting the development and co-ordination of cross-OHID governance and infrastructure for research and evidence. This may include, for example, development of cross-OHID approaches for the identification and prioritisation of research and evidence needs and coordination of processes for commissioning research, evidence reviews and evaluation.
- Contributing to development of Evidence and Evaluation team priorities and the continuous improvement of our work.
- Line management of at least one Senior Public Health Researcher.
- The post holder will develop working relationships and communicate regularly with a wide range of individuals, internal and external to OHID and DHSC.

- Educated to degree level with a degree in health, public health or social sciences
- Knowledge of public health and the role of evidence and evaluation in the delivery of public health policies and programmes
- Knowledge and experience in conducting systematic or rapid evidence reviews using appropriate methods and tools
