Products and Services Manager
As Products and Services Manager, you will provide effective management to the team leading the centre’s programme of work developing products and services aimed at improving how local authorities and trusts use evidence to improve their work with children and families.
As the Centre’s research efforts yield successful interventions, the products and services manager will work with development teams and researchers to drive our strategy for dissemination and uptake, especially when this requires the creation of additional products.
