Working at The Reach Foundation

Our Values

Here are the Reach Foundation, we have a set of lived values that guide our work; 

Rigour. We are clear slighted about the challenges babies, children and young people face. We use the best available evidence to inform our work, strive for excellence in all we do and support each other to attain this. 

Relationships. We invest in building the strong relationships needed to tackle challenging, complex problems. 

Intentionality. The most important decisions we make are about how we use our time and energy. We evaluate our work and think very carefully about what we start, stop and continue doing. 

Action. We have a strong bias to action. We believe that also long as we learn and adapt and work with others, we can make positive change for babies, children and young people. 

Justice. We are working to create a more socially just world. The way we work should always support that goal.

How we work

This role is advertised as working from home. Our Director of Operations lives in Leeds, and we would like to open this role to someone who is committed to working from a location near Leeds once a week/fortnight.

The role will not entail significant travel, but we would expect the successful candidate to attend 6 team days per year, and staff the occasional event.

We adopt an agile working policy, and believe great work happens when people feel trusted, connected, and able to adapt to what the day asks of them. In practice, agile working to us means:

• We expect you to fully deliver your work. Our commitments and deadlines to each other and our partners matter, and work is completed on time and to the standard our team agrees on. 

• You are trusted to organise your day thoughtfully, meaning you can start early or finish later, take a longer lunch break, or work from home. 

• We expect you to communicate regularly. A remote team relies on connection, therefore we expect you to keep your team in the loop, share challenges and be open to shifting plans if needed.

Ultimately, we believe blending responsibility with flexibility means you are able to bring your best self to work. 

Our Commitment to Inclusion

We believe that we can't tackle the complex challenges facing babies, children, and young people, without catalysing action that draws from diverse perspectives and is led by a wide range of voices. We are therefore committed to an inclusive world where every voice, experience, and background contributes to our shared goal of a more socially just future for all - within, around and beyond our organisation.

As we seek to build a team as diverse as the communities we serve, we actively encourage applications from anyone who feels their skills, experience and motivations could serve well in this role. We strongly encourage those with varied lived experiences, disciplines and identities to apply.

Job title: Associate Director of Data and Digital Transformation
Hours: 35 hours per week
Salary: £70-79,500
Employment type: Permanent
Team: Digital, Data and Technology
Location: Hybrid (average of 1 day per week in London office)
Line Manager: Chief Operating Officer
Direct Reports: 4

Anderson Quigley is excited to be working with the Teenage Cancer Trust on this critical transformational leadership role within the senior leadership team. As Associate Director of Data and Digital Transformation, you will shape a vision for Digital, Data and Technology as strategic enablers of impact. You’ll work with teams across the charity to shape sustainable services with and for young people with cancer, increase our audience reach, drive sustainable income generation, and demonstrate our impact. You’ll shine a light on the value of data, build collective confidence, and connect technology potential to measurable outcomes. You’ll influence horizontally, organise great people, and deliver value fast through product ways of working. As a leader, you’ll bring energy and influence, maturity of thought, and the ability to design, prioritise, and deliver.

This is a hands-on, delivery‑focused leadership role for someone who can build practical solutions, develop teams, and embed a service‑oriented, user‑centred approach across the charity. You will shape the future of DDaT, oversee a largely outsourced technology function, uplift data maturity, and ensure digital and technology services enable our mission.  This role will play a key part on the Senior Leadership Team, working collaboratively with colleagues across Services, Engagement, and Central Support teams.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a creative, energetic, and influential product minded leader to help Teenage Cancer Trust repurpose digital and data toward service impact. This is not a traditional DDaT director role. You’ll work across teams to shape our services, shine a light on the value of data, build collective confidence, and connect technology potential to measurable outcomes. You don’t need to have held a formal leadership title—but you must operate as a leader, bring energy, maturity of thought, and the ability to design, prioritise, and deliver.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong leadership background across digital, data or technology, ideally within a small, innovative organisation. This does not have to be at a senior level but evidenced in your application by mentoring/influencing and bringing people together.
• Credible technical knowledge and up to date understanding of developments in technology.
• Deep experience of working effectively with other professions and leaders as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
• Experience of service design in a charity, public sector or service delivery organisation.
• Demonstrable experience of developing DDaT teams, and of developing digital and data capabilities across an organisation, ideally in a charity or public-service context.
• A track record of improving data maturity and operational use of data and insight.
• Hands-on delivery experience; comfortable rolling up sleeves and making practical improvements.

Skills & Attributes

• A genuine people person who builds trust quickly and collaborates naturally.
• Pragmatic, grounded and solutions‑focused — not just a strategist, but someone who turns ideas into real, tangible outcomes.
• Able to support teams with limited digital or data experience and guide them through a development journey.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and capable of setting clear direction in evolving environments.
• Strong service mindset with an understanding of co‑design principles and agile ways of working.
