Job title: Associate Director of Data and Digital Transformation
Hours: 35 hours per week
Salary: £70-79,500
Employment type: Permanent

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.

At Teenage Cancer Trust one of our key focuses is around equity and making sure our services are accessible and inclusive to all young people with cancer, with no-one left behind.

A values-based team you’ll want to be part of

You’ll be joining a warm, supportive and highly committed group of professionals who care deeply about the people we serve and the quality of our practice. We work collaboratively—sharing thinking, holding risk together, and making space for reflection even when we’re working at pace.

• Collaborative team working—you enjoy working across disciplines and with partner agencies, contributing to shared plans and shared outcomes. 

• Agility and pace—able to prioritise, adapt and respond to changing needs while maintaining high clinical standards and clear documentation. 

• A development mindset—motivation to contribute to a growing hub, improve pathways, and evaluate impact using outcomes and feedback. 

We’re also happy to discuss the opportunity with clinical / counselling psychologists who may be earlier in their career. If you can demonstrate a strong commitment to this sector—through relevant placements, roles, voluntary work, research, reflective learning, or lived experience that informs your practice—we would welcome a conversation. We’re interested in potential as well as experience: your values, your curiosity, and the way you work with people and systems matter to us.

Can you help us develop an outstanding service for parent/carers in Surrey?

Do you have a passion to support young people's emotional health and wellbeing?

Barnardo's Parenting Wellbeing Service (PWS) are seeking to recruit two reliable and motivated individuals to join our team who share our commitment and vision to develop an outstanding service and embed Barnardo's basis and values in all we do. Barnardo's PWS offers advice, guidance and support to parents and carers across the county of Surrey.

The contracted hours for these two positions are 26.75 hours per week. Flexibility can be discussed about how these hours are completed within the working week. It is essential that Tuesdays are a working day and there will other occasions where early evening working (up to 6pm) will be required however this would be planned in advance to cater for our parent/carer schedules.

As a Parenting Wellbeing Practitioner, you will hold a rolling caseload and provide support to parents/carers whose children/young people are experiencing difficulties with their emotional health and wellbeing. PWS aims to upskill parents/carers and empower them to explore new strategies to make effective change. PWS encourages parents/carers to use a solution focussed, goal-based strength approach, building on their existing knowledge to support their child(ren) to thrive.

Parents/Carers are offered a hybrid model of support over a number of sessions which are continuously assessed to measure progress. This is usually provided through one 60-minute session per week which can be received either online, over the phone, at home or out in the community.

The Parenting Wellbeing Service operates within a Thrive Framework where choice and shared decision making is fundamental. It is a relational model, and we hold a non-judgmental and trusting relationship between the staff member and parents. You will receive training on the Thrive model at the start of your employment. 

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have experience working with and supporting parents/carers whose children and young people are experiencing difficulties with their emotional health and wellbeing.
• Have the ability to plan, deliver and evaluate 1:1 and groupwork wellbeing interventions with a solution focussed, goal-based strength approach.
• Be able to engage and communicate online and in person with parent/carers, schools, and other professionals or stakeholders representing Barnardo's.
• Have an understanding of how to work within a trauma-informed framework.
• Have knowledge of safeguarding issues, working within multi-agency frameworks and conducting risk assessments.  
• Have good time-management, organisational, numeracy and literacy skills including competency on IT software.
• Have a full UK driving licence and access to a roadworthy and taxed car.

Although the role is hybrid with the ability to work from home, it is essential to meet the needs of the service to travel around Surrey when necessary. Due to this, access to a vehicle and a valid driving licence will be essential. Car insurance must include business use and be in place before starting with the service. The office base (Surrey Wellbeing Hub) for this role is currently in Leatherhead, Surrey and there is a requirement to regularly attend meetings and collect resources from this location. This base determines your normal deductible commute.

Barnardo's offer their staff regular supervision, external clinical supervision and give all colleagues access to at least three learning days a year (pro-rata). Barnardo's University (BU) facilitate a range of opportunities which will be available through B-learning online and the BU prospectus. However, staff can use this time in a way that works for them – for instance to spend a day shadowing another team.

When completing your application please refer to your skills, knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification and Job Description. This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.
