The Evidence Uptake Advisor will take a hands on approach to understanding and servicing different user groups’ needs for evidence and data. Others will generate the primary data and evidence, and the Evidence Uptake Advisor will blend signposting and communication – or ‘brokerage’ – to drive and enable increased use of that evidence, with repackaging through syntheses, summaries and visualisations to make it easier for user groups to find and understand key findings.
With a solid grounding in understanding evidence, and a strong track record of communications, networking and user-orientation, the post-holder will inspire and facilitate a culture of amplifying our impact through evidence use.
