We are currently commissioning partners to deliver a service to support older carers into employment in the Greater Manchester districts of Bolton, Salford and Wigan.  This has been developed wth support from the GMCA, the GM Health and Social Care Partnership and the Centre for Ageing Better.

We require additional capacity to develop further learning and also support a process evaluation which will be commissioned and managed by the Centre for Ageing Better.

A strategic evaluation partner is now needed to:

- Act as an advisor to partners and providers to help develop appropriate evaluation and research methodologies

- Support key staff to develop relevant skills

- Ensure providers have the ability to develop evidence throughout the life course of the project

- Work alongside key staff to identify key findings.

Please note: We do not require a partner to deliver the evaluation itself.
