Pivot Evaluation is a local organization dedicated to community development.  We provide needs assessment, evaluation and strategic planning services to government agencies and nonprofits.  We hold high evaluation and human subjects’ protections standards.  Pivot works with program staff to develop and manage accountability measures that are realistic and attainable.  Multi-level analyses ensure the evaluation captures unanticipated consequences and follows a ‘big picture’ direction.  Mixed methods form the basis of our approach combined with promoting equity and justice.  Pivot has developed team-based approaches to safeguard project completion and improve our product quality while maintaining client communication and trust.  Our reports pay careful attention to evaluative terms.  Our core values are excellence, collaboration, diversity, and service.  We work hard while playing a part in solving community challenges with our client partners.

Pivot Evaluation is looking for a program evaluator with a master’s degree, especially in one of the social sciences or public health.  We prefer an additional two or more years program evaluation experience and familiarity with the South Valley and/or International District.  Open to alternate pathways to program evaluation.  

Responsibilities include the following:

• Write proposals with team support 

• Design evaluations collaboratively with Pivot team and clients 

• Conduct literature search 

• Plan and manage data collection, including survey instruments, interviews, feedback forms other creative methods for gaining participant information

• Conduct qualitative data analysis

• Conduct quantitative data analysis and statistical tests

• Summarize data in tables, graphs/charts and narrative formats

• Create graphics, charts and creative formats for communicating result simply 

• Write reports with Pivot Team Support.

Prefer Full time 35-40 hr per week (though negotiable). Flexible hours; vacation/holiday/sick leave.

$35 per hour to start and negotiable depending on experience. Small but increasing benefits.

The Bernalillo County Behavioral Health Initiative (BHI) funds the Tiny Home Village facility and services, as well as this Tiny Home Village program evaluation conducted by Pivot Evaluation. The current BHI developed out of the Department of Behavioral Health Services (DBHS) by a negotiated agreement with the City of Albuquerque via their joint strategic plan to address behavioral health in a shared geographic jurisdiction. The County Manager’s office administers the BHI directly through strategic funding for several behavioral health service providers in the County, and contracts with external evaluators to conduct process and outcome evaluations regarding service provider metrics, objectives, and goals. This document refers to BHI generically as the staff the County Manager assigns to manage the funding opportunities.

From the County of Bernalillo’s website: “The Tiny Home Village is a community living space and transitional housing program. Individuals live in one of 30 tiny homes. The homes are 120 sq. ft., and each has heating and cooling, a bed, shelving, and a desk. Villagers have access to communal bathrooms, a kitchen, and indoor/outdoor living space. Additionally, there is a community garden and dog park. The Village is designed to encourage community living. All of the houses face the common spaces. Staff encourage organic and organized activities. While living at the Village, Villagers work with a case management team to set and achieve goals. Case Managers help residents identify resources and continue on the path to long-term housing and self-determination.”

NMCAN serves socioeconomically disadvantaged youth who have been involved in foster care or juvenile justice. NMCAN offers financial literacy, economic development, and community building programs. Pivot collaborated with NMCAN to engage stakeholders for inclusion in extensive qualitative data collection including: NMCAN staff, service populations, and partners. Project findings helped NMCAN better understand and articulate the mechanisms of their success while also highlighting opportunities to explore improvements. The evaluation described the relative importance and relational dependency of housing and other socio-economic issues among NMCAN’s service population. Pivot validated NMCAN’s existing approach and discovered evidence for potential program developments to address critical youth housing service gaps.
