About DataKind UK
DataKind UK is a small infrastructure charity with a vision of a strong, thriving third sector that embraces data science to become more impactful. Effective data use has the potential to transform an organisation's impact by improving decision-making, maximising operational efficiency, and ensuring service delivery is evidence-based. A lack of access to responsible data science skills and techniques in the third sector means it isn’t having the impact it could.
We provide a variety of free and contracted support services to help third sector organisations achieve their missions, encourage innovation, and improve decision making, problem solving, and practices.
Since 2013, more than 2,200 DataKind UK volunteers have supported over 300 charities—from large organisations like St John Ambulance and Action for Children to local food banks and campaigning charities—helping them better understand their users, evaluate what's working, streamline routine tasks, and ultimately better tackle society's biggest challenges.
You'll be part of a kind and collaborative five-person staff team that works closely with a talented community of volunteer data scientists. This is an exciting and unusual opportunity to shape how the third sector uses data. Join us!
Essential qualities
- Proactive, can-do attitude - if in doubt, we’ll figure it out!
- A highly organised, process-driven problem solver.
- You are aligned with DataKind UK’s core values: curious, responsible, collaborative.
- You are self-directed and goal-oriented, and like working independently or managing without direct authority.
- You thrive in an environment where every day is a bit different, and are happy working flexibly and adaptably. You can switch between big-picture and detail-oriented thinking.
- You are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
- You are a collaborative team player, and happy to jump in and help out when and where needed. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit.
Essential skills
- Personable and skilled at relationship building and communicating with a variety of people - we work in a small, hybrid team, and with a wide variety of volunteers, charity partners, and other stakeholders.
- Skilled at collaborating with/managing people who are not your direct reports (e.g. colleagues, volunteers, trustees).
- Comfortable juggling multiple projects and priorities and making decisions about what to prioritise accordingly.
- Familiarity with digital software - currently we use Google suite for email, diary management and documents; Beacon CRM; Monday for project management; and Slack for team and volunteer communications. You may not have used those exact tools but you are comfortable with learning new tools and processes, to the point where you can clearly document processes and train others.
Desirable
- Experience of working and/or volunteering in the UK charity sector.
- Knowledge of charity governance / legislation.
- An interest in the use of data to support decision making in the third sector.
- Experience of working or collaborating with volunteers.
What we offer
- Working in a small, flexible, hybrid team where you are trusted to manage your time and your projects.

We are focused on outputs over time spent at your desk.
- 5% employer pension contribution.
- 11 days holiday (27 days pro rata).

- We will provide you with a comprehensive onboarding plan, where we will identify any additional training needs to support you in your role and arrange for training at a time/place/pace that suits you.

This is a part-time role (14 hours per week). You can do this across two or more days, depending on your preferred work pattern. Working hours are flexible, but we ask that at least 75% of your working time is within the hours of 10am and 6pm UK time, in order to facilitate team working and real-time collaboration.

(Please note we don’t currently have any other staff members in the office on a Friday.) We will occasionally hold team days in London - you will be given advance notice of these dates.

Are you passionate about working for a charity that delivers exceptional care? A role with Phyllis Tuckwell gives you the opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives every day.
We have an exciting opening for a full time Corporate Partnerships Manager within our friendly and supportive Income and Engagement team, based at our site in Farnham or Guilford, in Surrey.

There is plenty of scope to think creatively and shape innovative partnership ideas that will drive long-term income growth.
It’s an exciting time to join Phyllis Tuckwell as we prepare for moving back to our new hospice - and you can be a part of it.
