About Us
It is an exciting time to join Lambeth Council, we have bold ambitions for the future of Lambeth’s communities and residents through our Lambeth 2030 Plan ‘Our Future, Our Lambeth.’ To deliver on these ambitions, we have embarked on our transformational One Lambeth Programme ensuring we are ‘connected by purpose’ in everything we do to deliver excellence. We are proud to have recently developed a refreshed set of One Lambeth Values and Behaviours that were developed for staff by staff: Equity, Ambition, Kindness, and Accountability.

About the Borough
Located in the heart of South London, Lambeth Borough is a vibrant community of over 317,600 residents. Stretching from the dynamic neighbourhood of Streatham in the South to the iconic landmarks of Waterloo in the North, we are proud to be the 9th largest borough in London. Our diversity is our strength, with more than 130 languages spoken, making Lambeth the home of the Windrush generation, London's largest LGBTQ+ community, and a thriving Portuguese-speaking community. With exceptional schools, lush green spaces including Brockwell Park, cultural gems like the Black Cultural Archives, and world-renowned institutions such as St Thomas's Hospital, Lambeth offers an enriching and dynamic environment.

About the Team
The Health Determinants Collaboration (HDRC) is a new element of research infrastructure funding from the NIHR’s Public Health Programme based in local government. The Lambeth HDRC was developed in collaboration with Kings College London (KCL) and Black Thrive. The purpose is to enable local authorities to become more research-active, undertake new research and use existing evidence to inform our decision making, and undertake evaluation activities. We will have a central focus on health inequalities and actions to tackle problems faced by disadvantaged groups and areas.

Experience
Experience working with a range of data resources across the Lambeth health and wellbeing economy to develop an HDRC research data management system with a focus on social/wider health determinants linked to health and wellbeing outcomes data.

About you
Ability to work with research partners and service directorates to build statistical models and algorithms that enable the interpretation of data for predictive analytics and insights that can drive improvements in the wider determinants of health and wellbeing at a local level. Strong analytical skills to respond to holistic and challenging requests from senior stakeholders.
