Note: This role is a 14-month maternity cover contract.
About us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the role
As Head of Data and Analysis, you will play a vital role in transforming how data and insights drive strategic decisions across our Public Impact division. You'll lead the development and delivery of a forward-looking data strategy, enabling agile, insight-led campaign planning and supporter engagement. You'll also play a key role in leading the team through technological and cultural change, championing collaboration and capability-building across multidisciplinary teams.
Joining our Public Impact Division and reporting to the Director of Public Income & Engagement, you’ll be leading Data and Analysis teams who are passionate about harnessing the power of data to deepen supporter engagement, increase income, and deliver relevant, impactful experiences.
In this role you will:
• Lead and implement a transformational data strategy that elevates the role of insight across marketing, engagement, and fundraising activities.
• Support and lead teams through change, fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• Inspire and manage a high-performing team of data professionals, embedding a shared vision and delivering measurable outcomes.
• Collaborate across digital, technology, and marketing functions to unlock the power of data and supporter insight.
• Translate complex data analysis into clear, actionable insights that drive commercial impact and strategic decision-making.
• Champion robust data governance, quality standards, and safeguarding practices to ensure effective and ethical data use.
About you
With a proven track record of successfully guiding teams through transformation, you'll have a strong background in data strategy and leadership with a passion for unlocking the power of data to drive income and engagement.
You'll have:
• A strong track record of leadership in data, insight, and analytics roles within complex or matrixed organisations.
• Experience successfully leading teams and departments through transformation or change programmes.
• A deep understanding of data strategy, marketing technology ecosystems, supporter lifecycle engagement, and performance measurement.
• Strong understanding of analytics methodologies and approaches, including digital analytics.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to translate complex ideas into actionable insight for diverse audiences and to drive cultural change.
• A collaborative, agile mindset with a passion for continuous improvement and innovation.
• A passion for using data to advance social impact, and a commitment to upholding the highest standards in safeguarding and ethical data use and to Save the Children's vision, mission, and values.
What we offer you:
Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
• We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.
Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Location & Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.
This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

WE ARE SEEKING A POLICY OFFICER
About the Department/Role
The Church of England is continually striving to improve its safeguarding practices. The 2020 report by IICSA on the Church highlighted failures in respect of child sexual abuse and, more broadly, the challenges facing the Church to get safeguarding right.
The Church's aspiration is that safeguarding is not experienced and approached as a matter of administrative compliance. Rather, it should be what the Church is - something that flows from its core beliefs and values, part of its DNA.
The Church has made important and positive strides over recent years. There is, however, still much to be done to keep children and vulnerable adults safe, and to promote their well-being. The Church is a complex collection of different bodies. Most of the safeguarding work is carried out locally within the 42 dioceses and cathedrals in England. This work is supported centrally by a National Safeguarding Team (NST).
What you'll be doing
The Church of England seeks a committed and collaborative Safeguarding Policy Officer to join the National Safeguarding Team. This role is central to developing, revising, and implementing national safeguarding policies that protect and support all members of the Church community.
Working closely with Safeguarding Policy and Development Leads, you'll ensure policies are grounded in academic research, aligned with legislation and canon law, and informed by survivor experiences and Church-wide learning.
In this role, you will:
- Co-manage the development and roll-out of safeguarding policies, codes of practice and guidance
- Collaborate with stakeholders, including survivors, bishops, Diocesan Safeguarding Officers, and Church bodies
- Ensure policy relevance across dioceses, parishes, cathedrals, religious communities, and theological institutions
- Lead the coordination and improvement of the safeguarding e-manual
- Engage with NCIs departments to embed safeguarding policy into wider initiatives
- Support the NST's learning and review cycle to refine policies over time
- Represent survivor perspectives within policy, training, and quality assurance activities
- Provide briefings and respond to safeguarding queries from Church bodies
- Take ownership of non-legislative content creation related to safeguarding
Key role requirements
- A basic DBS check will be required as part of our pre-employment checks.
- This is a hybrid role, and working arrangements can be discussed with the hiring manager.
- Please note: This is a fixed-term opportunity, and we are seeking to appoint three candidates across the following contracts:
- 1 position: 2-year fixed-term contract
- 2 positions: 15-month fixed-term contracts
About You
The Church of England is for everyone and we want to reflect the diversity of the community the Church serves across the whole country. Therefore, while of course we welcome all applications from interested and suitably experienced people, we would particularly welcome applicants from UK Minoritised Ethnicities (UKME)/Global Majority Heritage (GMH) and other under-represented groups. As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to recruiting disabled people. We offer interviews to disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the role.
You will need to be/have:
To thrive in this role, you'll bring a unique blend of analytical skill, emotional intelligence, and commitment to safeguarding excellence. Below are the essential and desirable qualities we're looking for:
- A degree is not required for this role; however, the candidate will need to evidence at least 5 years of relevant experience in a similar field
- Strong written communication, able to tailor content for diverse audiences
- Skilled in analysing complex and conflicting information and distilling it into clear policy or guidance
- Confident working collaboratively across internal and external partnerships
- Able to lead and facilitate stakeholder groups to achieve outcomes
- Able to build trusted relationships with varied stakeholders, including survivors and Church colleagues
- Ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with individuals from all backgrounds, both written and verbal
- Experience in producing clear, effective policy and guidance for a range of audiences.
- Knowledge of national safeguarding legislation, statutory guidance and policy (e.g. Children Acts, Care Act, Working Together, criminal justice legislation), both current and historical, as relevant to non-recent abuse.
Please refer to the Job Description for more information about the role and person specification.
