Experience in charity retail is welcome, but we're equally interested in talented leaders from the wider retail sector.

At The National Lottery Community Fund we are committed to making a bigger difference. Our 2030 strategy ‘It starts with community’ puts impact at the heart of what we do and our Evidence and Impact Strategy explains how we will do this. We want to transform the use of evidence in our organisation to identify the communities that most need our funding and demonstrate the difference we make.

We’re recruiting for an Evaluation Manager to join our Impact and Evaluation Team. In this role, you will design, commission and manage large-scale, complexity-appropriate evaluations, focused on programmes in England that are funded via Dormant Assets. You’ll also be involved in UK-wide work about the impact of Dormant Assets funding in other parts of the UK. And, you will advocate for the importance of high quality evaluation.

A typical week in the role might include:

• a contract management meeting with an external contractor to feedback on a Theory of Change they have developed
• developing an evaluation Invitation to Tender with internal funding colleagues
• discussing learning from a recent evaluation conference with peers in the Impact and Evaluation team
• meeting with analysts in the civil service to discuss overlap between an evaluation you are managing and work they are doing. 

Your strong evaluation expertise will be complemented by stakeholder management skills that mean you to get the best from contracts we procure. You'll effectively communicate evaluation findings to a variety of audiences, including those who are not evaluation experts. You'll be committed to professional development, staying up-to-date with best practice in evaluation design and delivery.

We are looking for someone with a passion for understanding the difference that the voluntary and community sector makes and using that evidence to improve practice. You will be motivated by helping ensure The National Lottery Community Fund makes the greatest difference for communities across the UK.

About Kidney Research UK:
Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.
