Analytical Volunteer Programme: Open for Applications

The programme provides an excellent opportunity for voluntary
sector organisations to benefit from free analytical expertise and
for government analysts to develop and build new skills.

Volunteers can contribute from half a day up to five days. The
time doesn’t have to be taken in one chunk – for some projects it
may be more practical to provide some initial support for a day or
two, then some further help after a few weeks.

All voluntary sector organisations are welcome to apply for a
volunteer analyst. You can receive free analytical assistance in a
skilled area that you may not normally have access to. 

The scheme:

• Enables organisations to use data to measure and improve their
  impact, target work, apply for grants and streamline
  activities
• Allows organisations to set up and improve systems and
  processes
• Gives staff the opportunity to learn new skills so they are
  able to replicate analysis
• Provides a level of analytical expertise to support a project
  that the organisations wouldn’t be confident in tackling
  alone 

How to apply:

Applications for organisations are currently open, deadline for
submitting your completed application form is Wednesday 13
November 2019.

Applications for volunteers will then open later in November and
the AVP team will match the applications from voluntary sector
organisations with volunteers who have suitable skills, based on
the information you provide in your application.

Please note that sadly we can’t guarantee all applications will
be filled with an analyst. All matching is aimed to be completed by
January.

For more information, including case study examples and FAQ’s,
please visit the AVP 
webpage.
