Evaluating the long-term impact and benefit of the Elevate Salford programme’s current model


Elevate Salford is seeking a skilled and experienced research organisation to undertake a piece of social research to evaluate the long-term impact of the Elevate Salford Programme on participants supported into employment over the last three years. 

This research will provide critical insights into the effectiveness of our bespoke, individualised approach and its ability to deliver sustainable employment and improved wellbeing for individuals furthest from the job market.
