Right now, millions of people across the UK are struggling to make ends meet. Whether it’s skipping meals, choosing between heating and rent, or facing unexpected expenses without a safety net — financial insecurity is a daily reality for far too many. At Turn2us, we’re here to change that. We support people in financial crisis to access the help they need and to build long-term financial security.
Every year, we reach millions through our practical tools like our Benefits Calculator and Grants Search, and we provide direct support through our Helpline and grant programmes. We work alongside people with lived experience of poverty to influence policy, shift public narratives, and tackle the root causes of financial insecurity.
Data is central to this mission. It helps us understand where the need is greatest, how our services are making a difference, and what more we must do. That’s why we’re excited to recruit a Head of Data — a role that will be key to our success as a learning, evidence-led and values-driven organisation.
In this role, you’ll lead the delivery of our data maturity roadmap, helping Turn2us grow into a truly data-driven organisation. You’ll develop a data-led culture, embed best practice in data governance, and ensure our data is both ethically managed and compliant with GDPR. You’ll also work closely with colleagues in IT, Insight and Impact, and Digital and Design to build a well-managed, joined-up data ecosystem that underpins everything from our day-to-day operations to our long-term strategy.
We’re looking for a values-led leader with strong expertise in data architecture, data management and governance. You’ll have experience leading and implementing data strategies and frameworks, and a passion for using data to create positive social change. Knowledge of financial insecurity and the issues facing people in poverty is useful, but not essential.
What matters most is your commitment to our mission and your ability to make data work for people. We’re not looking for a particular CV or background. We know that Turn2us will benefit from fresh thinking and new perspectives, so we actively welcome applications from people with diverse experiences and transferable skills. You’ll join a warm, committed and ambitious team.
At Turn2us, we care deeply about equity and inclusion, and we particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of financial insecurity, whether from the charity or private sector.
If you’re driven by the power of data to help people and influence change and want to be part of a mission that really matters, we’d love to hear from you.
