⏳ Closing date: 27 July 2026
🗓️ Work commences mid-August 2026, with final report due end of November 2026.

Participating nursing homes span Mayo, Kerry, Dublin North, Offaly, Kilkenny, and Meath. The evaluation involves semi-structured interviews with workshop facilitators, a focus group with nursing home management and field observations, followed by qualitative analysis and a final report, executive summary, and presentation of findings.

We welcome applications from candidates with a background in social sciences, health sciences, public health or a related discipline, and experience in qualitative research or evaluation.
