Job description

Are you looking for a role where your skills can directly benefit families raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people?

The role

As Head of Research and Evaluation, you will be responsible for the development and delivery of our research and evaluation strategies. This work will help us to understand and provide insight into the challenges and difficulties faced by families with disabled children, the quality of services we provide and the difference our support makes for the families we serve.

You will ensure that the voice of families is at the centre of our research and evaluation activity. Our research and evaluation work will be used to shape and inform decision making, both internally and externally.

If you join us, you’ll be:

  • Leading the development and implementation of Family Fund’s research and evaluation strategies.
  • Developing and overseeing our evaluation and service quality frameworks.
  • Championing the ‘voice of families’, embedding their lived experience at the heart of our research.
  • Managing and delivering high-quality research and evaluation projects/initiatives.
  • Producing accessible, engaging, and impactful research outputs for a variety of audiences.
  • Promoting the use of innovative and participatory research methodologies.
  • Presenting and disseminating research findings internally and externally, including at events, conferences, and through publications.
  • Developing and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders and representing Family Fund in strategic research partnerships, networks, and advisory forums.
  • Commissioning external research and evaluation where appropriate, ensuring quality, value for money.
  • Maintaining oversight of government/ funder reporting, ensuring timely and accurate submissions aligned to contractual and organisational requirements.
  • Ensuring internal coordination of reporting data and analysis for funders.
  • Providing visible, hands-on leadership and line management to the Research and Evaluation Team.

About you

For this role you will need to have experience in developing and managing research and evaluation strategies, frameworks, activities and production of subsequent products.  You will also need to have experience of working in partnership with other organisations, and of resource and budget management.

To be successful in this role, you will need excellent analytical skills as well as sound knowledge of quantitative and qualitative methodology and best practice through the research cycle. You will need to have good writing skills and an ability to communicate effectively with different audiences. You will also need to have the ability to interpret and present research in an accessible and engaging way.

You will be a self and team motivator with excellent communication skills, and the ability to develop and sustain positive relationships with a range of stakeholders. You will be pro-active and driven to succeed.
