The Blackpool Better Start partnership is one of five locations in the UK to receive funding from the
National Lottery Community Fund to support initiatives in early intervention and prevention for the early years.
The partnership brings together the NSPCC, Blackpool Council, NHS health organisations, Police, local parents
and community organisations to collaboratively make the sustainable changes needed within services and
systems supporting early years to ensure every baby has the best start in life.
Better Start is responsible for the design, development, and implementation of a range of evidence-based
programmes and community-based initiatives on behalf of the Better Start Partnership. Initiatives which
support early years families in relation to Diet and Nutrition, Speech Language and Communication and Social
and Emotional Development.
Better Start is able to combine early years science and evidence with designing and delivering front line services
that reach families and children at the right time. The creative approach refined in Blackpool is now being
cascaded to other organisations, supporting decision makers to focus on improving children's outcomes, the
importance of early education for young children and building parental capabilities.
The role of Senior Data Analyst will ensure that projects and activities are monitored and population and
individual impact understood. The post will work as part of the Research and Evaluation Team which has a skill
mix of both qualitative and quantitative research and with Development Managers across a range of
disciplines.
