Working closely with the Evidence Manager, you’ll help shape how Alzheimer’s Research UK understands, evidences, and tells the story of the impact of the research we fund. You’ll lead on collating, cleaning and analysing impact data from a range of sources, turning it into compelling insights that support external reporting, fundraising and internal decision-making.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys connecting evidence to real-world change.

o Analyse and synthesise findings into clear, decision-ready insights, supported by visualisations and (where appropriate) dashboards.

· Own the day-to-day development of the Impact Hub—our internal repository of research impact—spotting standout examples of progress (e.g. career development, collaborations, guideline influence) enabled by sustained ARUK funding and shaping them into strong case studies.
· Partner with fundraising teams to understand their evidence needs and identify new opportunities to bring research impact to life for supporters.
· Help improve and embed reporting processes that strengthen how we evaluate and communicate the impact of ARUK-funded research.
Data analysis, Evidence & Evaluation
· Provide responsive data collection, analysis and reporting support across the Research & Partnerships Directorate and wider organisation, working closely with the Evidence Manager.
o Examples include: portfolio trends, geographic spread, career outcomes and collaboration mapping.
· Support the Evidence Manager to deliver ARUK’s Strategic Performance Measurement Framework—tracking and reporting KPIs for senior leadership and trustees.
· Continuously improve systems and workflows, streamlining data handling and building reusable templates and dashboards (e.g. automation in Excel/Power Query, Power BI data models, standard operating procedures).
External ambassador for research impact
· Build expertise in research impact assessment by engaging with organisations such as the AMRC and attending relevant workshops and meetings.
· Build and maintain strong relationships with key external stakeholders, in particular ARUK-funded researchers and other funding bodies, spotting opportunities to advance ARUK’s research aims.
· Represent ARUK at national and international events and conferences, helping to position the charity as an authority on research impact.
Team working and other responsibilities
· Play an active role in Team and Directorate meetings, bringing ideas, insight and constructive challenge.
· Keep colleagues and stakeholders updated on progress, insights and next steps as appropriate.
· Support internal reporting on risks, budgets and activity across the Research & Partnerships directorate.

About us
Housing Justice unites diverse communities to build personal connections, help people out of homelessness, and create justice in the housing system. Our vision is of a community where everyone has a safe and stable home, and a feeling they belong.
Our Seeking Sanctuary project is a Wales-based initiative delivering innovative housing solutions and community-led support for people seeking sanctuary. We combine community hosting, tenancy-based housing, and advocacy to help build a Nation of Sanctuary.
About the role
Reporting directly to the Sanctuary Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of our accommodation pathways, ensuring the best possible outcomes for destitute migrants and newly granted refugees.
This is a dynamic, frontline casework role that spans three core areas of our housing provision:
The Hosting Project: Supporting people seeking sanctuary who have no recourse to public funds by giving them a welcoming, safe place to stay in the home of one of our volunteer hosts.
Refugee Lodgings: Helping to provide a safe and supported housing option for newly granted refugees at risk of homelessness by matching them with people who have a spare room.
Transitional Housing: Providing vital tenancy sustainment support for newly granted refugees transitioning into our shared accommodation properties.
About you
We are seeking a dedicated, highly organised, and empathetic professional with proven experience working directly with people experiencing homelessness, particularly asylum seekers and forced migrants.
You will have a strong working knowledge of the housing system, the UK welfare system (including Universal Credit and Housing Benefit), and how to support people to access their entitlements. Because this role requires managing complex casework and navigating cultural nuances, you must possess strong interpersonal skills, particularly when working with vulnerable people or those with English as a second language.
If you are a creative problem-solver who is passionate about empowering refugees and building sustainable housing pathways, we want to hear from you.

We offer flexible working. Not all posts can be made flexible, but where possible we operate core hours of 10am - 3pm, with employees able to flex their working day around these.
Any flexibility is at the discretion of the line manager and relevant senior manager.
As this role is offered as Home Working, we will provide some financial support to get you set up with appropriate equipment.
We offer an employee assistance programme through Spectrum Life, which can be used by you and your family for a range of advice and support.
We offer a cycle-to-work scheme.
