About Shooting Star Children’s Hospices

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Family Support Team at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

Shooting Star Children’s Hospices provides specialist care and support to families who have a baby, child or young person with a life-limiting condition, or whose child has died. Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, our teams support families across Surrey, north-west London and south-west London from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care.

About the role

Family Support Workers (FSW) are the frontline of our care. Each FSW holds a caseload of end-of-life and bereaved families. They get to know their families, and check-in regularly with phone calls and home visits and can provide enhanced emotional support where required through more regular contact and interventions. Our FSWs tell families about the many services they can access at Shooting Star, assess their needs and make recommendations to our multi-disciplinary team. They  support families of different ethnicities and families living in poverty, helping our service be as accessible as possible.

Our FSWs work closely with our Therapists, Counsellors, Social Workers, Transition Team and our Care Events Team. Weekly MDT meetings bring the team together to think of ways to help families in crisis. The work is varied and creative, taking place at the hospices, in family homes and hospitals, allowing the support to be where the families need it. Our Family Support Workers are hugely appreciated by the families we support.

The ambition of our strategy is to ensure every family affected by a life-limiting condition, or the sudden death of a child, has access to the specialist care that they need. Day to day duties are:

CAFOD is an equal opportunities employer. Recruitment and selection procedures reflect our commitment to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

All offers of employment will be subject to satisfactory references, and appropriate screening checks can include criminal records and terrorism finance checks. CAFOD also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this Scheme, we will request information from job applicants’ previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of, and consent to, these recruitment procedures. 

We’re looking for someone who’s not just skilled in monitoring and evaluation but genuinely curious about what works, why it works, and how we can do better. This is a hands-on role based in Nigeria for six months, designed for someone who wants to work closely in implementation, influence strategy, and get deep into the mechanics of how impact happens. We see this as a first step toward a long-term role at Lafiya, with the fellowship designed as a pathway into a permanent, full-time, in-country or remote M&E Specialist position. We plan to determine the compensation for that role once the fellowship concludes, and it will be informed by your contributions to Lafiya during the fellowship and other factors. 

You’ll have real ownership from the start. You will help us design our end-to-end evaluation strategy, test and refine it as we grow, and generate insights that shape both daily decisions and long-term direction. You’ll work closely with and be supported by senior leadership, contribute to programme design, and build systems that help us learn faster and stay accountable to our goals. 

This is not a desk-bound research role. You’ll spend time where the work happens, strengthening the practical side of monitoring, troubleshooting what isn’t working, and building confidence across the team to use data well. 

This role is open to all applicants, and we strongly encourage candidates from Nigeria to apply. Field immersion is critical to succeeding in the long-term role, which is why this initial placement is in person. For those relocating from outside Nigeria, Lafiya will cover the cost of a return flight, visa, vaccinations, travel insurance and accommodation. After the fellowship, we want the role to shift to a permanent position based anywhere within ±3 hours of GMT.

Quick Summary

• Full-time
• USD 1,500 gross per month during fellowship; permanent full-time salary to be determined after the fellowship.
• Nigeria-based (either Kano or Abuja); 6 months with a potential for long-term renewal based on mutual fit and performance
• Reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer
• Deadline for application: 23:59 (BST) Thu 17 July 2025

What You’ll Do

• Help us overhaul and strengthen how we collect, track, and use data – from making sure our monitoring tools are practical and our indicators measure the right thing, to fixing messy pipelines and leveling up our dashboards from good to great.
• Spot gaps in data quality, figure out what’s going wrong, and implement fixes that are fast, useful, and stick.
• Design and run internal evaluations, anything from a quick A/B test to a more structured quasi-experiment, that help us learn, adapt, and improve how we work.
• Synthesise and share findings clearly so they feed directly into operational decisions. We care more about honest insights than perfect answers.
• Work closely with field and programme staff to build comfort and confidence using data. You’ll be training people, co-analysing results, and helping make sense of it all.
• Help shape new programmes by building out indicators, setting baselines, and making sure our theories of change actually reflect how things work on the ground.
• Turn data into action: create sharp, accessible briefs and visuals; host workshops or reviews where teams genuinely learn; write up findings that aren’t just reports but tools for change.
• Keep us sharp. Help make sure we’re measuring the stuff that really matters, asking the right questions, and staying focused on what evidence can actually tell us.

Who You Are

We care less about years of experience and more about how you think. You don’t need to tick every box. We’re looking for someone who’s curious, rigorous, and ready to dive in.

We’re looking for someone who can design and lead Lafiya’s overall evaluation strategy, not just execute technical tasks. You should be comfortable zooming out to ask whether we’re measuring the right things, as well as diving deep into implementation.

You’re someone who:

• Cares deeply about making a real-world difference and sees evaluation as a tool for improvement, not just accountability.
• Thinks critically about what’s worth measuring, how we measure it, and why it matters, not just how to run the numbers.
• Has experience or strong instincts in designing M&E systems and tools (e.g. theories of change, sampling plans) that are practical and help programmes learn and adapt.
• Knows how to design rigorous evaluations, including randomised experiments, and is comfortable balancing methodological integrity with operational realities.
• Can work with both qualitative and quantitative data. You might have run A/B tests, quasi-experiments, facilitated focus groups, built sampling plans, or developed theories of change. You know how to match methods to questions.
• Spots noise and bias in data, and knows how to clean, challenge, or adjust it without making things more complicated than they need to be.
• Has used tools like SurveyCTO, CommCare, Stata, R, or Google Sheets, and is happy learning new ones when needed. Maybe you've built a dashboard or set up a useful data workflow. Maybe you're just quick to figure things out.
• Communicates clearly in writing and conversation, whether you’re sharing a short visual brief or a detailed report. You know how to speak to field teams, decision-makers, and funders without losing meaning.
• Works well with others, stays humble, and is driven by learning. You like taking initiative and aren’t afraid to ask questions. You’re comfortable saying when you don’t know something and enjoy figuring it out.

A Master’s degree in a relevant field (public health, economics, evaluation, data science, or social sciences) is helpful but not required. What matters is that you bring strong foundations, an eagerness to learn, and a drive to use evidence to improve access to contraception – especially if you’re looking for a role where you can take real ownership and shape how things work on the ground.

Why You Should Apply

This role comes with a lot of responsibility and real influence. You won’t be just cleaning data or filling out donor reports. You’ll be shaping how we learn, improve, and stay honest about what’s working.

We’re a fast-moving and mission-driven team working in places where access to contraception is still far too limited. The systems you design and the insights you generate will directly affect how millions access care. You’ll get to build and test ideas quickly, work closely with senior leadership, and see your work applied in the field almost immediately. There’s room here to take initiative, make decisions, and push us to do better. We don’t have layers of approval or endless review processes – if it makes sense, we’ll try it.

You’ll grow alongside a young, ambitious and supportive organisation poised for significant expansion in the coming years, giving you opportunities for personal and professional growth as well as a chance to leave a lasting mark on Lafiya’s work. We’re investing in this position because M&E is central to how we grow, learn, and stay accountable.

Benefits include:

• 30 days of paid annual leave
• Fully paid maternity leave
• Flexibility in where, when and how you work
• For candidates relocating to Nigeria, we offer logistical support and reimbursement for travel and accommodation.
• Working closely with the CEO and a team of senior leaders who are collaborative, ambitious and serious about impact.

What is the recruitment process for this role?

We value your time and aim to make our recruitment process as insightful as possible. It includes:

• Stage 1: Application Form. Share your CV and complete a 20-minute multiple-choice quiz to assess your fit for the role.
• Stage 2: Test Task. Engage in a 1-2 hours task that mirrors the kind of work you'll do with us.
• Stage 3: Interview. This is the final stage, after which we’ll make offers. All candidates will be asked the same questions in a 1-hour interview, and you’ll get the questions in advance. It will also be an opportunity for you to ask us questions.

We're committed to transparency and will provide feedback from Stage 2 onwards
