Who we are
Chefs in Schools is an ambitious charity that’s rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids' health, through improving school food & food education.

As we work with children and young people, an offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory references and DBS clearance, in line with our safeguarding policy.
Key responsibilities:
-

-
Support delivery teams to collect quantitative and qualitative data using the evaluation toolkit. Ensuring data collection is proportionate and meaningful with high completion rates.
-
Support delivery teams to understand how impact data can help to improve and develop programme effectiveness, whilst maintaining quality.
-
Lead on the dissemination of findings across the organisation, including presenting at internal meetings and events
-
Translating data into clear, evidence-based recommendations to guide decision-making
-
Work across the organisation to ensure our impact is effectively communicated with external audiences.
-
Identify future research, evaluation and learning priorities that could strengthen Chefs in Schools’ programmes and contribute to wider sector understanding of effective approaches to improving school food.
-
Work with external academics and researchers to commission external evaluations to develop our evidence base and contribute to national and international studies .

-
MEL Experience: Proven experience in a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) or impact measurement role within a charity, non-profit, or social enterprise setting.
-
Evaluation Design: Confidence designing and implementing practical evaluation frameworks, data collection tools, logic models, or Theories of Change.

-
Translation of Evidence: A track record of critically appraising evidence and translating findings into actionable, practical recommendations for delivery teams.

We’re looking for a proactive, curious and practical research and evaluation leader who spots opportunities, builds partnerships, and helps us turn lived experience into evidence that improves services, influences policy and drives change.
The Hepatitis C Trust is one of the UK’s biggest lived-experience organisations working in Inclusion Health. With almost 500 staff and volunteers, our teams work in communities and prisons across England, and in parts of Scotland and Wales, reaching people that mainstream health services routinely struggle to engage.

- Evidence the impact of our programmes and services.
- Understand what works, and what doesn’t, in improving outcomes for marginalised and excluded communities.
- Strengthen our understanding of the value and potential of peer-led and lived experience approaches.
- Improve the representation of excluded populations in research, policy and service design.

- Has a strong background in research and evaluation, including both qualitative and quantitative methods.
- Is proactive, self-directed and comfortable taking ownership of projects.
- Has experience of generating evidence that informs policy, practice or service improvement.
- Is excited by the potential of lived experience and peer-led approaches.
- Builds strong relationships and enjoys working collaboratively.
- Has excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Is committed to equity, inclusion and social justice.

As Research and Evaluation Assistant you will play a pivotal part in the running of a dynamic research team. The role offers an essential grounding in managing research projects and processes. Your core responsibilities will include:

- Monitoring the Research Review Clinic in-box and helping deal with enquiries from across the NSPCC

Are you keen to learn and do you love a challenge?
You will be working with departments across the NSPCC including Childline, Policy and Influencing, Schools services and Participation. Current projects with some of these teams include research on child safety online, sex and relationships education at secondary and primary levels, problematic sexual behaviour and loneliness, to name just a few.

Alongside all the “on the job” learning, you'll have access to the rich and varied learning and development opportunities within the Research and Evidence team and the wider NSPCC. It'll be a steep learning curve but an exciting and rewarding one.
Looking for a team that is passionate about what it does?
You'll be supported in your development by our friendly and talented team of researchers. We're quite a big team, which is great for diversity in thought and practice.

You’ll be comfortable working with both qualitative and quantitative data, turning evidence, feedback and insight into clear conclusions that support learning, decision-making and improvement. You’ll also be a strong communicator, able to translate complex information into engaging reports, impact stories and accessible content for a range of audiences.
A good understanding of equity and health inequalities is essential, along with the ability to apply this knowledge in practice. You’ll have experience of working respectfully and effectively with Black communities and be committed to ensuring lived experience is at the heart of how impact is understood, measured and communicated.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.
We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
