Title: Economics Advisor – Missing People
Summary
Missing People is recruiting volunteers with expertise in economics to support the early planning of a project exploring the economic impact of missing episodes and the harms experienced by individuals while missing. This work will inform the development of a robust, evidence-based estimate of the cost of a missing episode and the socio-economic return on investment (ROI) of prevention efforts.
As an Advisory Volunteer, you will provide expert guidance to help shape the scope and direction of this project. Your insights will help the charity identify key considerations, methodologies, and data needs - an area where we have limited in-house expertise.
Description
Someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK. Missing People is the only UK charity dedicated to reconnecting missing people and their loved ones. Our services include:
-
A free and confidential helpline, available 7 days a week, for missing people and their loved ones,
-
A specialist family support and counselling service,
-
Case publicity to support loved ones with sharing appeals,
-
Specialist services for children and young people, and their loved ones, experiencing exploitation,
-
Commissioned intensive support services for young people at particular risk,
-
Research, consultancy and training for professionals working around the issue of missing.
Our vision is that every missing person is found safe.
By supporting us to develop a compelling economic case for prevention, you’ll play a vital role in shaping how missing incidents are understood and addressed across the UK. We will use the information to influence nationally: sharing the figures with key decision-makers in government, policing, health and social care. This work will strengthen our case for funding essential services that prevent repeat missing episodes and support the development of more effective early intervention strategies.
We’ve already begun exploring this work but need additional external expertise to guide our planning and approach. As such we are recruiting new volunteer Economics Advisors. Advisors will be asked to:
-
Attend and participate in monthly project planning meeting (1-2 hours via video call, scheduled flexibly on weekdays or evenings) for a period of 6 months.
-
Review relevant documents and provide ad hoc advice between meetings (no more than 1-2 hours)
-
Get further involved in the project with a weekly commitment, if desired – this is entirely optional.
What impact will you have?
Your input will support Missing People to build a stronger case for prevention and change for missing people and their loved ones.
About the volunteer
We are looking for volunteers with:
-
A strong understanding of data and working with complex statistics
-
Experience in economic analysis of social issues and public policy, cost-benefit analysis, or social return on investment (SROI)
-
Willingness to support and advise Missing People’s Head of Policy and Head of Research in understanding an area outside of our usual expertise
-
The ability to ask key questions, offer constructive challenge, and act as a critical friend to staff
-
Commitment to attend monthly meetings for a 6-month project period
Missing People is the only UK charity dedicated to reconnecting missing people and their loved ones.
