**Main Purpose and Function**

The Social Planning Analysts work independently and as part of multiple teams within Social Policy to support and advance social plans, projects and initiatives that contribute to a healthy, equitable, sustainable and resilient city for all.

- Grant funding, capacity-building, and relationships with community-based non-profit organizations;
- Urban health response and policy work, including issues relating to mental well-being, substance use, and the ongoing drug poisoning crisis; and
- Other related work within Social Policy and Projects.

These positions reports to the Social Planner leading the Research and Data Team, under the direction of the Assistant Director, Social Policy and Projects and works collaboratively with staff across the division and engages with community organizations and members of the public.

**Specific Duties/Responsibilities**
- Conducts research and analysis of social issues and trends relating to social sustainability and equity in the City of Vancouver, supporting the ongoing implementation of the Healthy City Strategy, City of Reconciliation, Equity Framework, and other social policies that address the root causes and systems that create inequity in the city.

- Builds knowledge, expertise and critical practice in using multiple research methodologies and mixed data sources to enable evidence-informed decision-making.
- Supports policy development, operationalization, implementation, monitoring, metrics and reporting for major social policies, plans and strategies.
- Provides responsive and timely support to the research and data needs of other Social Policy teams while proactively identifying opportunities for synergies and complementary efforts in other areas.
- Develops relationships and conducts ongoing engagement with community members and community organizations around social policy research and data.
- Contributes to the development of research and data governance models that ensure data can be used with integrity, safety and respect for the people and groups implicated.
