Job Description
THE SELECTED CANDIDATE WILL BE OFFERED A SALARY BETWEEN $84,981 - $97,728.
The Administration for Children's Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of children and families through child welfare and juvenile justice services and community supports. ACS manages community-based supports and foster care services and provides subsidized childcare vouchers. ACS child protection staff respond to allegations of child maltreatment. In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement, and programs for youth in the community.
The Division of Policy, Planning and Measurement (PPM) collaborates with every ACS division to guide systems analysis and strategic systems improvement; assure quality of practice at ACS and its provider agencies; professionalize the frontline workforce; bring knowledge into practice; provide research and analytic support; and plan and develop new programs and policies.
The Office of Quality Improvement (OQI), within the Division of Policy, Planning and Measurement (DPPM), evaluates case practice delivered by the Division of Child Protection (DCP). OQI evaluates case practice through three distinct methods: 1. A detailed review of all cases that involve a child fatality, in order to identify systemic recommendations for quality improvement; 2. A detailed review of cases selected for ChildStat, management accountability and learning sessions that include borough leadership, provider agencies (including foster care and preventive, when relevant) and the executive leadership team, in order to identify opportunities for improving case practice system-wide; 3. A quantitative and qualitative review and analysis of investigations conducted by DCP within each borough and zone, leading to reports for DCP senior management and borough leadership to inform improvement planning.
Reporting to the Director of Data Analytics, within the Office of Quality Improvement, the Data Analyst will be responsible for evaluating quality case practice within the DCP across each borough and zone. The Data Analyst supports the work of the unit and division by creating and maintaining systems that allow for recording of findings and reporting out to ACS leadership and other stakeholders. The Data Analyst position requires someone with strong analytic and organizational skills with the ability to integrate and synthesize different types of data into relevant domains.
Under the supervision of the unit's Director, the responsibilities of the Data Analyst include, but are not limited to, the following:
-Support the development, production, maintenance, and distribution of management reports.
-Respond in a timely way to a variety of analytic and informational ad hoc requests from DPPM and ACS leadership.
-Perform analytic tasks, using individual and/or case level data as well as aggregate data, including running queries, conducting analyses, and developing reports using basic quantitative methods.
-Provide written and graphic summaries of key issues and analytic findings.
-Perform quality checks on data input by Case Practice Analysts.
-Collaborate with IT to secure access to new databases and testing of online review instruments.
-Coordinate and facilitate inter-reliability studies in order to gather information on efficacy of case review instruments, and implement needed changes to improve inter-rater agreement.
-Create, maintain, and support the case selection process for the Zone Based Reviews and ChildStat processes
-Support the creation, development and maintenance of interactive data analytics dashboards for each zone within the Division of Child Protection. These dashboards will enable zones to access performance data, monitor key metrics, and track improvements over time for informed decision-making.
-Conduct overview meetings with each zone to present executive reports summarizing findings from case reviews. These meetings will involve reviewing the report, explaining data collection methods, and providing guidance on using the findings to enhance case practice within the Division of Child Protection.
-Participate in special projects as needed and determined by ACS leadership and DPPM.
