Senior Research and Data Analyst

Role/job Description About us Pathway is a unique national charity. We have two mutually reinforcing purposes: - to improve health and care quality and outcomes for people experiencing homelessness, and other forms of profound social exclusion - to use the evidence and experience we generate to campaign for policy changes that will prevent homelessness and social exclusion in the first place. Pathways successes since our foundation in 2010 have been based on working intimately within the NHS, our strong clinical leadership, a commitment to evidence-based practice and research, the involvement of lived experience throughout, and a driving commitment to quality improvement, health equity and social justice. In 2021 Pathway agreed a strategic merger with Crisis, the national homelessness charity. Pathway became a wholly owned subsidiary of Crisis but maintained its operational and organisational independence. This gave Pathway a strong degree of financial certainty and allowed us to take a longer-term, planned approach to our work. Current discussions are looking at options to further strengthen that relationship. We are looking to recruit a highly motivated Senior Research and Data Analyst to join our small core team.
