About the role

The Quantitative Research and Methods Lead is a new role for the organisation, and will play a key role in shaping and delivering our work on common measurement and building the data ecosystem for the youth sector. This role will create new and specialist capacity and expertise to complement existing skills and knowledge around qualitative research and evaluation methods. 

The Quantitative Research and Methods Lead is responsible for advancing our thinking and strategic aims related to the design and implementation of quantitative research and evaluation methods, including data analysis, visualisation and manipulation. This will include, with support from a project director, accountability for all aspects of project management and delivery (including contract and budget management, communications, reporting, managing risk and resources) for a portfolio of projects designed to develop the youth sector’s access to and use of shared data to understand and improve impact. Alongside owning a portfolio of projects, the Quantitative Research and Methods Lead will collaborate with other Leads, contributing their expertise and insights into their projects. In particular, the Quantitative Research and Methods Lead will work closely with our Digital Product Design Lead to maximise the potential of our new data portal and suite of measurement tools, in line with our emergent data strategy. 

The Quantitative Research and Methods Lead – as with all other Lead roles in the organisation - is an ambassador for the Centre for Youth Impact and YMCA George Williams College, and helps to build relationships, influence stakeholders and promote our insight in all of their interactions with the youth sector. Deep collaboration and committed partnership working will be a core feature of this role as we seek to achieve transformation at scale across informal and non-formal provision for young people. The Quantitative Research and Methods lead will develop a range of material for external publication and internal learning and reflection (including training content), and hold our collective learning from their programmes of work.

We are looking for an outstanding candidate with a deep understanding of quantitative research and evaluation methods, alongside creativity and imagination about the role of data in sector-wide transformation. You will need to be proactive and an excellent communicator, with strong interest and skills in building alliances and collaborations to advance shared projects and initiatives. You will need high-level skills in data analysis (advanced Excel as a minimum, alongside SPSS and PowerBI), and open-source data tools (Python or R, or similar), and have a solid understanding of the ‘real world’ context for gathering and utilising data in youth provision. You will also need to be comfortable bringing those skills into a fast-paced charity setting, and continuing to learn as you go. An interest in and solid understanding of evaluation would be a distinct plus, as would an awareness of youth-focused public policy and system dynamics. We need a candidate who understands the deeply human and relational nature of data.

You will have the ability to engage with humility and authenticity with a wide range of people and organisations working to support young people and their communities, whilst building their understanding and confidence in data use. You will be able to spot and make connections between relationships and areas of work and be alive to changes and patterns in the external policy and practice context and the opportunities they present for our charity. 

Finally, you will also need to be a strong and confident project manager and a compelling and confident writer and presenter who can communicate the breadth of our work. You will be comfortable representing us externally, and acting as a ‘thought leader’: openly reflecting the evolution of your ideas and thinking, and generously sharing your learning with others.

Head of Partnerships 

Dated: June 2022

Contract: Full time, permanent

Salary: £48,000-50,000 per annum 

Start date: Immediate

Location: Home based with potential access to desk space in central London, if required; travel across the UK may be required from time to time as part of role (subject to covid guidance) 

Reporting to: Director of Strategy and Learning

Direct reports: None at this time

Annual leave: 25 days per year plus bank holidays

About the role

The Head of Partnerships is a new and critical role, created as part of our merger with the YMCA George Williams College. We hope the merger will see our quality improvement and training work grow, alongside extending our communities of practice and our offer to them. As such, we created a dedicated post to hold, nurture and grow our approach to working with and through networks, and to oversee our partnership projects. 
 

Networks have long been at the heart of the Centre for Youth Impact’s approach. Built over the last eight years, we deeply value our relationships with our Regional Impact Networks across England, and are excited by the emergence of new relationships in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland – and indeed internationally, particularly building on the legacy of the College. There is now the opportunity to revisit our approach to working with and through networks, particularly in developing a more responsive and ‘tiered’ offer that reflects and responds to the needs, ambitions, and experiences of our different stakeholders. 

The Head of Partnerships will be responsible for implementing a new network strategy, strengthening these relationships (including transitioning existing network leads to potentially new ways of working), and framing the support that we offer to network ‘members’ across the UK (further details on our existing networks can be found here). This will include scoping, defining and implementing our approach to supporting/collaborating with members of the YMCA Federation in England and Wales alongside building relationships with the Federations in Scotland and the island of Ireland, as part of the merger with YMCA George Williams College. There is also the potential to work closely with the Director of Strategy and Learning to consider new international learning partnerships.

Over the past few years in particular, the Centre has been increasing its partnership projects: significant programmes of work with one major partner or funder, including cohort-level evaluation, capacity building and learning partnerships.The Head of Partnerships will also manage a range of partnership projects, working alongside other members of the team to initiate, design, and deliver cutting-edge programmes of work. The post-holder will work closely with the Director of Programmes and Director of Strategy and Learning to ensure that we are integrating our learning from our networks into our wider strategy and programmes of work focused on research, evaluation, and organisational learning. 

The Head of Partnerships will play a strong role in supporting income generation, particularly for our network support activities.

MOVE Europe’s (registered name The Move Partnership) vision is for every disabled young person to have choice and opportunities by learning independent movement. Our mission is to enable disabled young people to gain independent mobility through the use of the MOVE Programme, a 6-step programme used collaboratively in all aspects of an individual’s life, throughout their whole day, by all of the people that work and live with them. The MOVE ethos is centred around a ‘can-do’ approach, where everyone around the individual dares to dream and works on ambitious goals set by the child and their family. Because of this approach, individuals on the MOVE Programme achieve significant positive outcomes, and progress is usually made much quicker than if the person was just accessing traditional therapy services alone.

We work to achieve our mission through delivering the following activities throughout the UK to over 140 schools and therapy teams. Most of our current work is funded by trading income, where teams purchase our services and access support through membership.

• Training: we deliver high-quality training that empowers education and therapy teams to use the MOVE Programme with the disabled individuals they support.
• Support: we provide support services and quality assurance for the teams that use the MOVE Programme to ensure best practice and great outcomes for the disabled individuals they support. This includes network meetings, conferences, the MOVE Quality Mark, 1:1 support, webinars and CPD opportunities.
• Growth: we develop the MOVE Programme across the UK and Europe to reach as many disabled young people as possible who could benefit.

Role Overview

Join us at MOVE Europe in our 25th year of enabling disabled young people to learn independence through movement, as our Senior Trusts and Statutory Fundraiser. Reporting to the Director of MOVE Europe, and joining a small, agile, and highly effective team, the owner of this role will play a pivotal part in the organisation’s growth ambitions. 

The main purpose of the role is to develop and lead the organisation’s trust and statutory fundraising, working to grow a portfolio of new funders of various sizes (4 – 5 figures) and, through effective communication and stewardship, secure income for the organisation, as part of our 3-year strategy. As a new role within the team, the post-holder will have a brilliant opportunity to develop and lead our fundraising activity to create real change for the young people we support.

As with the rest of the MOVE Europe team, the post-holder will be employed by Enham Trust, but will be seconded to the MOVE Europe organisation.
