Work with other SDE PPIE Leads and Managers across the country to implement the Community Engagement Strategy for the SDE across the designated Y&H areas. Engage with public members to ensure their opinions and ideas inform the development and delivery of the SDE projects/initiatives within the Y&H SDE for the duration of the programme. Develop and maintain positive and energetic relationships with key stakeholders across the Y&H area, taking particular account of groups that are seldom heard. Support the Community Engagement Lead with facilitating and administrating the SDE PPIE group, ensuring that the right people/organisations (Voluntary sector, faith settings etc.) are engaged and represented. Support and facilitate the planned Citizen Juries which will be delivered across the Y&H areas to fully understand the perceptions and needs of Y&H communities on the subject of sharing data across services using SDE approaches. Ensure communities and organisations are aware of opportunities to apply for SDE funding for initiatives that will support the SDE programme. Work with research and evaluation colleagues to support with the delivery of service design plans and collect research and evaluation data effectively. Work with research colleagues across the Y&H area to support research and evaluation plans such as the Connected Bradford and Bradford Council Data Sharing Project. The other sites across the Y&H region will have similar projects and the postholder will support with PPIE aspects as and when this is needed. Liaise with other agencies and organisations to promote the PPIE work related to SDE using presentations and written reports as required. Provide support to researchers with the integration of public involvement within the SDE programme, including contributing to funding applications as required.
