Role Overview: We are seeking a detail-oriented and organised Data Coordinator to join our team. This role is crucial in ensuring that our data management practices are accurate, efficient and compliant with relevant regulations. This role is an opportunity to contribute to the wellbeing of young people in Haringey by ensuring that Open Door's data management practices are robust and reliable, giving us the metrics that we need. The Data Coordinator will contribute significantly to the overall effectiveness of our data system, in particular auditing the mapping of Open Door’s data systems to coordinate data for the newly funded Impact Evaluation project.

About the Impact and Evaluation project:  Open Door seeks to gain a deeper understanding of its impact on young people's mental health by analysing data from individuals supported during 2023/24 and 2024/25. We have existing comprehensive and robust data at Open Door, including clinical outcome measures, service user feedback, demographic data and more, and are now seeking to analyse this large dataset to evaluate and improve our services. We are seeking to better understand who benefits the most from our services and identify those for whom our impact is less significant. 

About Open Door: Open Door is a Young People’s mental health charity, that has been based in the London Borough of Haringey for 48 years. It aims is to improve the mental health and life-chances of young people in Haringey, by providing access to effective psychotherapy and counselling.

We provide an ‘Open Door’ to free, high quality psychological therapy to 12–24 year-olds delivered by experienced and highly trained clinicians. Open Door also supports parents and carers, struggling with the issues their children face. We aim for access to our service to be as simple as possible and over half of those we support self-refer. 

Many young people who come to us are experiencing significant mental health difficulties and have faced barriers to statutory services.

Open Door delivers evidence informed practice and has been commended for our ambitious approach to outcome driven care.  We have recently been shortlisted for a Health Service Journal (HSJ) Award for our work improving the mental health of young people, who have been impacted by inequality, in Haringey. 

Open Door is community embedded, integrated into the local mental health infrastructure, commissioned by North Central London Integrated Care Board and part of the Haringey Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service single-point-of-access.  We have a strategic voice which is used to advocate for young people’s mental health and influence practice. Last year we supported nearly 900 young people, parents and carers and offered over 9000 appointments.

This is an exciting time to join Open Door. The candidate will be part of forming and developing a new, small in-house data and evaluation team, to undertake this evaluation of our clinical service.
