This role requires a collaborative and supportive leader who can empower specialist teams, build strong relationships across the organisation and maintain momentum across a broad and varied portfolio of work.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead the Impact and Grant Communications function during a year of strategic transition, ensuring teams remain focused, supported and aligned around organisational priorities.
- Provide leadership and oversight across impact measurement, evaluation and grant communications activity, ensuring high-quality delivery across the department.
- Support the development of strong foundations for the first year of the charity’s new strategy, helping shape processes, priorities and ways of working alongside the senior leadership team.
- Oversee how the charity measures, evaluates and communicates impact, ensuring evidence and insight are used effectively to inform decision-making and storytelling.
- Lead and support teams responsible for communicating the impact of grant funding across fundraising, communications and external audiences.
- Build strong relationships with senior colleagues, researchers, hospital partners, Trustees and external stakeholders, acting as a trusted and collaborative partner.
- Support strategic communications activity linked to major organisational priorities, including high-value funding cases, reporting and thought leadership.
- Use insight, evidence and evaluation to help identify opportunities, strengthen strategic thinking and support continuous improvement across the organisation.
- Provide leadership, coaching and support to managers and specialist teams, creating an environment where people feel empowered, informed and able to do their best work.
- Represent the directorate at senior meetings, committees and external events as required.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- Leadership experience within a charity, healthcare, research, policy or related environment.
- Experience leading teams through periods of change, growth or organisational transition.
- Strong strategic thinking and prioritisation skills, with the ability to balance immediate delivery with longer-term organisational goals.
- Excellent relationship management and influencing skills, including experience working with senior stakeholders and partners.
- Experience communicating complex information clearly and effectively to a range of audiences.
- Experience leading or overseeing complex programmes, functions or cross-organisational projects.

This is a high-impact leadership role at a pivotal moment for the organisation; an opportunity to help shape how GOSH Charity understands, measures and communicates its impact while supporting teams and stakeholders through an important year of strategic transition.
We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer.

CARE International is a global humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty and inequality until all people have equal rights and opportunities. We know that when a crisis erupts, women are often the first to pick up the pieces, so we work alongside women, so they have the power to make change where it’s needed most. Founded in 1945, CARE currently works in over 100 countries and last year alone reached 53.4 million people through nearly 1,500 projects.

The Youth Endowment Fund
Evaluation Manager
Reports to: Senior Evaluation Manager
Salary: £44,100
Contract: 24 months full-time (Fixed Term Contract).
Location: Central London, Hybrid*
Closing date: 5pm on Monday 22nd June
Interview dates: Week commencing Monday 6th July
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
All of us will experience violence at some point in our lives. For many children, it is a daily reality. Each year, tens of children are killed, hundreds are hospitalised, 1 in 5 teenage children are victims and the majority admit to feeling afraid of violence. It scares them when they travel home from school, prevents them from going out and makes the most vulnerable feel like they don’t matter. It is taking lives, traumatising families and dividing communities. It robs potential, progress and hope. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Youth Endowment Fund exists to try and permanently change things. To succeed, we must build an exceptional body of knowledge about violence affecting young people and how we reduce it. This knowledge has to be both rigorous and highly relevant to those making decisions about how to support vulnerable young people. We need to find out what works and what doesn’t through evidence synthesis, data analysis and qualitative research into children’s lives. We need to convert this into highly accessible content on what works, how delivery organisations need to change their practice and how the systems they operate in need to be reformed. We then need to work with the right people that can make change happen, across systems, policies and practice, to have a real impact on reducing violence affecting children’s lives.
The evaluation team designs and implements the processes which assess the evidence for the fund’s various funding rounds. The team is also responsible for assessing, appointing, monitoring and the quality assurance of complex and rigorous impact evaluations from experts in the field.
As an integral member of our evaluation team, you will be part of making sure we make the best decisions about what we fund, design and execute the evaluations to learn from it about what works to prevent youth violence.
Key Responsibilities
The core of your job is to ensure that we commission and deliver high-quality evaluations so that we can find out the very best ways to prevent young people and children from becoming involved in violence.
As an Evaluation Manager, you will:
-
Support the evaluation team to design and implement the processes for assessing the quality of evidence underpinning applications organisations make for funding.
-
Provide recommendations on which applications should be approved for funding based on your assessment.
-
Choose the best evaluation partner for each project.
-
Lead the development of the evaluation design with grantees and evaluators.
-
Review regular monitoring reports from evaluators and provide approval for payments, making sure their milestones are effectively achieved, and the work stays on budget.
-
Serve as the main point of contact for the evaluation partner, providing a rigorous review and feedback on the report and ensuring that it is an accurate reflection of the learnings from the project.
-
Support the evaluation team in the development of the principles and protocols we need to deliver robust and respected evaluations.
About you
You’re this sort of person who is:
-
Committed to preventing young people and children from becoming involved in violence: You’re passionate about the impact of prevention and early intervention. You don't want your days to pass without making a difference.
-
Experienced in evaluation: You have a strong knowledge and technical expertise in evaluation methodologies, including the ability to critically appraise the design of randomised control trials and related approaches.
-
Really know what makes great research and quality evidence: You can design and draft high-quality research proposals, including the sample, measurement and analysis. You’re confident in assessing the quality of evidence that underpins interventions and can guide decisions on grant applications.
-
An excellent communicator: You can produce technical documents that accurately report methodological and statistical information. You will combine this with experience of communicating complex evidence and analysis in a simple and accessible format to non-experts.
-
Highly organised and likes working in a team: You have excellent project and time management skills with the ability to deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment. You’re a valuable addition to any team by supporting others and working collaboratively. You’re flexible and able to work on your own initiative.
-
Committed to equality, diversity and inclusion: You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views and values.
You may have, but they are not essential:
-
Good knowledge and understanding of crime, serious or other relevant areas. This could include areas such as such as RSHE and harmful relationship behaviours, child development, parenting or children’s mental health from fields such as psychology, neuroscience or education research.
-
Experience of commissioning evaluation or designing your own research: This includes managing research and analysis from external contractors. Experience designing and carrying out your own research would be an asset, as would experience in the ethical review process.
-
Great quantitative analysis skills: This includes experience using advanced analytical software such as R, Stata or SPSS
-
Knowledge and understanding of intervention and prevention science
-
Knowledge and experience of evidence synthesis: You know the different approaches and have carried out your own evidence synthesis projects.
While it’s not a criterion, we’re especially interested to hear from applicants who have experienced youth violence.
It’s also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.

About CLTR
The Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR) is a UK-based, non-profit and independent think tank with a mission to transform global resilience to extreme AI and biological risks. We achieve this by working with governments and institutions, offering targeted, evidence-based advice designed to enhance understanding, decision-making and governance.
The Role
The Centre for Long-Term Resilience is looking for a full-time Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager with knowledge of CLTR's areas of policy focus (AI safety and biosecurity) and with strong fluency in the conventions, expectations, and writing styles of philanthropic funders focused on extreme risks.
The Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager will play a central role in CLTR’s Fundraising Unit, holding day-to-day responsibility for a portfolio of significant funder partnerships and prospects, and supporting the organisation's long-term fundraising strategy. This is a hands-on role requiring excellent relationship management and project management skills, outstanding written communication skills, and the ability to work effectively across teams in a fast-paced environment.
The role works closely with CLTR's policy unit leads, who are responsible for accuracy of programme content in fundraising materials and, where needed, providing direction on content and structure based on their own knowledge of specific donor preferences.
What You'll Do
-
Hold day-to-day responsibility for a portfolio of funder relationships, maintaining an up-to-date picture of each funder's priorities, renewal timelines, and grant spend down for discussion with CLTR’s Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy Lead, CEO and policy unit leads.
-
Project manage the delivery of donor-facing materials, including complex proposals, reports, and updates. This involves working in close partnership with policy units to agree on a structure, gathering relevant content, ensuring the framing of policy work is reflected appropriately (and contributing to this framing through donor-specific intelligence and relationship insight), coordinating with external contractors for strategic writing support, and enabling policy unit involvement throughout this process.
-
Coordinate with our finance team on proposal budgets for major funding bids, ensuring asks are financially robust and aligned with organisational planning.
-
Track and communicate proposal and reporting timelines, ensuring clarity around deadlines and required inputs.
-
Conduct research on donors and prospects and help to build a pipeline of donors interested in funding work in the extreme risks space, working with senior stakeholders to identify relationship entry points and brief policy units to prepare for meetings.
-
Oversee due diligence for your caseload, coordinating with external contractors as needed.
-
Work with senior colleagues, including policy unit leads, to engage funders on the organisation's work and coordinate communications when navigating multi-stakeholder relationships.
-
Support effective grant management and compliance in coordination with the Operations Unit.
-
Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in CLTR's CRM system.
-
Suggest areas for process and systems improvement.
-
Actively feed into income forecast projections, monitor progress against forecast, document changes and risks.
-
Stay abreast of developments in the extreme risks funding landscape, feeding relevant intelligence into strategic planning.
-
Attend relevant events and conferences to represent CLTR, expand our network and raise the profile of the organisation.

A calm and solution-focused approach under pressure, with flexibility and agility when priorities shift.
