We are recruiting a data and performance manager to help us to continue to build our evidence base and demonstrate impact of the Make a Change model.  This role will involve collating data and information about the intervention, including performance against our outcomes and service user feedback and then translating this across a number of platforms and to a range of audiences, including those we work with in partnership and funders.

This role will help us to identify challenges in data collection and be able to make recommendations as to how we gather data, the use of various tools and in some cases building and testing new approaches to gathering and articulating the impact of our work.

In addition to this, we want to understand our reach into communities and be able to position our intervention so that is as accessible as possible.  This role will scrutinise our reach and help us to understand those we reach and those who we do not, informing our future development and practice. 

We are looking for an experienced manager who has a good working knowledge of a range of outcome measures, related to domestic abuse, and has a strong track record of building an evidence base to demonstrate impact.

This sort of opportunity doesn’t come around very often.  Serving in a key leadership role at national Church level is a role worth taking a close look at.  Reporting to the Chair, you will work alongside the Board of Trustees as well as other key parts of the Free Church of Scotland at a national level - yet you will also support the work of our local churches across Scotland and beyond, and our international mission.

In leading the Central Office, you will shape and implement the Board’s ambitious strategy and priorities, in support of bringing good news to communities.  You will help people join things together, take initiative and pursue the direction of travel.  You will inspire people with your commitment and energy for the ambitions of the Church as well as your professionalism as a leader and manager.  You will understand what good governance is all about in leading an organisation, ensuring effective people management, financial management and risk management.

If you enjoy complexity, are in tune with our values and ethos, and are seeking a role that offers breadth and scope, the opportunity to influence within and beyond the Church, and, ultimately, help bring good news to people, we welcome your interest.  Please read our ‘Information for Applicants’.
