The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent critical thinking, research and policy development skills, with the ability to digest complex information quickly and appraise firms work against regulatory requirements, best practice examples and policy recommendations.

The successful candidate will primarily work as part of the Gambling Harms Action Lab team where we’re bringing together seven representatives from financial services firms to explore ways to reduce gambling related financial harms. The (Senior) Research Officer will be an integral part of the team working to tackle gambling related financial harms through delivering timely and insightful research and consultancy support. 

We are looking for an exceptional team member who is driven to create meaningful change and is passionate about tackling gambling related financial harms.

Finally, we’re looking for an individual who can work independently and as part of a team, with strong organisational skills, who can manage their own time, meet deadlines reliably, plan work effectively and drive work forward.

Key tasks in the role will include: 

• Developing and maintaining a strong understanding of key developments in gambling and financial services sectors, including regulatory guidance and best practice.

The need for what we do has never been greater – churches, charities and ministries are losing valuable time to increasingly complex legal and financial compliance.

For all Christians, called to live and give generously, the pressures of modern life and confusion over how to give well, is restricting an abundant outpouring of generosity.

We’re investing in technology to grow our payroll services, and part of your role will be to help us transition onto the new payroll software smoothly and effectively. At the same time, we are developing other aspects of our consultancy offering and around 40% of your role will be to provide support and cover for these services to the treasurers and trustees of our clients.

Epic at a Glance:

At Epic, we strive to build a world where children and youth - no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation or place of birth - have access to a future full of promise and opportunity. We are a global foundation backing groundbreaking non-profits around the world - the changemakers and innovators that are transforming the lives of children and youth and protecting our planet for generations to come. 

Groundbreaking charities often struggle to secure smart money to drive impact. Donors want to give more, but are held back because they lack trust, time, and knowledge.

We curate and monitor highly-vetted portfolios of organisations that we back in order to foster lasting change.

Now in our 10th year, we have mobilised over $91 million and supported 57 organizations in 11 countries across 4 continents, since 2015. In the UK, we raise between US$2-2.5 million annually, and there is potential and aspiration to grow this to US$3 million by the end of 2027.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk.
