Monument, London

Lumos is an international non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded by J.K. Rowling. Our vision is of a world where all children have the opportunity to grow up and thrive in loving, nurturing, protective families. We believe that children belong in families not orphanages and we aim to achieve our vision by 2050. We will do this by casting light onto the causes of institutionalisation and producing high-quality, compelling evidence of our long term, sustainable solutions.

Developing a strong evidence base that supports the benefits of deinstitutionalisation will be a key tool in enabling us to influence policy, practice and funding across a broad range of decision-makers and donors. As Research & Projects Officer you can play a vital role in this work, taking on a varied role within our Evidence Unit. You can expect to be involved in managing and delivering key research projects, working closely with others and leading on regular progress reports for key stakeholders. You’ll also have a key contribution to make in the monitoring and evaluation of data and analysis as part of our country demonstration projects.

Lumos is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and criminal records checks where legally permitted.

Closing date: 3 February 2020
