About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is in the process of evolving its current ‘Youth Without Limits’ strategy which aims to give all young people the chance to experience the life-changing benefits of a DofE programme. The Charity has a strong desire to become a more insight-driven organisation and has recently launched a data strategy that will help realise that vision. We have a clear view of where we want to be and some of the gaps and challenges that will need to be tackled along the way. The Head of Data will be instrumental in helping the charity achieve its vision for data and will play a key role in delivering the data strategy. Working with the Director of Data and Impact, you will develop the capabilities, frameworks and infrastructure to ensure data is managed, governed, understood and used effectively to enable the Charity to make informed decisions.
