**Job summary**:
You will be based in the Vulnerable People Data and Evaluation Division (VPDE), a multidisciplinary analytical team of economists, social researchers, statisticians, and data scientists and engineers. The division provides high quality, innovative research and analysis across a wide range of DLUHC policies focused on vulnerable people (including homelessness and rough sleeping).

There are two posts in the Vulnerable Groups Analysis and Evaluation Team, which is a team of social researchers and economists. A key feature of our work is the monitoring and evaluation of policy initiatives to reduce homelessness and domestic abuse, and support individuals and families with complex needs. As a team we have a reputation for being innovative in the use of analysis and for providing high quality outputs (e.g. the team won the Civil Service Innovation Award 2019). We aim to be authoritative in delivering our analysis whilst being creative and open to new ideas.

The government has made ambitious manifesto commitments to end rough sleeping by the end of this parliament and to fully enforce the Homelessness Reduction Act. Delivering this commitment to end rough sleeping requires robust evidence to understand the characteristics of people who sleep rough, the personal and systematic causes of rough sleeping, and what works to end it sustainably. Building a strong evidence base will support local and central government to target future funding, build a sustainable system that works, and understand what interventions should exist in a local pathway to reduce homelessness and end rough sleeping.

A Duty was placed on local authorities to support those experiencing Domestic Abuse in 2018. We need to provide robust evidence of how well local authorities are meeting the requirements. We have set up a mixed methods evaluation to gather evidence of how well local authorities have delivered the new Domestic Abuse Duty and the impact on those experiencing domestic abuse.

**Job description**:
**The roles**

One role will focus on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping and support the delivery of an innovative programme of trials and a systems-wide evaluation for homelessness and rough sleeping

The second role will focus on Domestic Abuse and support the delivery of a large and complex evaluation of the Domestic Abuse Duty.

**Key Responsibilities**

Post 1 - Homelessness and Rough Sleeping

The post holder will be involved in key projects to monitor and evaluate homelessness and rough sleeping policy initiatives. This could involve working on a range of evaluation work, and personal preference will be considered where possible. This is likely to include supporting our current programme of trials (Test and Learn), a systems-wide evaluation and Housing First:

- Test & Learn is a trials programme (approx. 10 different trials) designed to test and robustly evaluate local interventions that have the potential to have high impact in reducing homelessness and ending rough sleeping. The trials will target key policy themes, such as prevention, and focus on specific sub-groups such as non-UK nationals or people with complex health and support needs.
- The systems-wide evaluation will help us to better understand and articulate how homelessness and rough sleeping and our core programmes interact with the wider system and show how investing in different parts of the system can provide better outcomes and value for money to Government as a whole.
- Housing First is being piloted across three areas. We have set up an in-depth evaluation which includes: a process evaluation; work to assess the fidelity of service delivery with the principles of Housing First; and a data collection to measure the outcomes and value for money associated with the programme.

Key responsibilities will include:

- Supporting an ambitious research programme on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping, including working closely with policy and managing contractors to deliver the research on homelessness and rough sleeping and ensure our analysis feeds into policy making;
- Forging links with analysts in other teams leading on evaluations across DLUHC;
- Collaborating with and maintaining a network of policy and analyst stakeholders within and outside the Department on projects of joint interest;
- Liaising and working with some of the What Works Centres, and other external evaluation experts e.g Trials Advisory Panel and the Cabinet
