Tom’s Trust provide specialist psychological support to children with brain tumours and their families – the UK’s leading charity dedicated to this work.

A brain tumour diagnosis can be devastating. Without timely intervention, many children face life-long challenges – but with the right psychological support from the moment of diagnosis, we can help them return to school, resume their lives, and achieve their potential. Support for the whole family is a vital part of the outcomes for this unique group of children.

The Assistant Clinical Psychologist for Tom's Trust is integral to our mission and is embedded in our strategy to walk alongside the child and family. This exciting new position, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist, is intended to develop and implement our new strategy to provide more national resources to reach every family in the UK impacted by a child’s brain tumour diagnosis.  This will include supporting the development of the online resources hub, an online forum, peer support groups, activity camps and increasing patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE). 

Do you want to help shape strategy by turning data and evidence into insight that drives mission, growth, and learning? Do you have the skills to help a complex organisation understand what is working, what could improve, and how to adapt in a meaningful way?

The Diocese of Rochester is seeking a Data Insights & Evaluation Adviser to lead the development of a coherent, organisation-wide approach to data, evaluation, and learning across the Called Together programme. This role goes beyond routine data collection or dashboard creation – it’s about sense-making, judgement, and enabling learning to support parishes, deaneries, and diocesan teams in achieving sustainable impact.

This is an exciting role for someone with analytical expertise, strong communication skills, and the ability to work relationally across a wide range of stakeholders.

About the Role

· You will provide leadership in monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL), ensuring data and evidence are used effectively to inform decisions and enhance mission. Your key responsibilities will include:

· Leading on data, insights, and evaluation across the Diocese to inform strategy and action

· Integrating quantitative and qualitative evidence from parishes, programmes, and external sources

· Translating complex data into clear, accessible insights and narratives

· Designing and embedding a comprehensive MEL framework with appropriate indicators and learning loops

· Designing, building, and maintaining dashboards and visual tools (e.g. Power BI)

· Producing reports for governance, leadership, and project teams

· Providing analytical support to enable data-driven decision-making and project delivery

· Ensuring data integrity, quality, security, and GDPR compliance

· Collaborating with national Church teams and external partners to align evaluation with wider priorities

About You

· A minimum of five years’ relevant professional experience in data, insights, evaluation, research, MEL, or learning-focused roles, with evidence of senior responsibility, autonomy, sound judgement, and practical organisational application.

· Aligned with the mission and ethos of the Christian Church and the Diocese of Rochester

· Educated to degree level in a relevant field, or with equivalent professional experience

· Experienced in data, insights, or evaluation activity in complex, multi-stakeholder environments

· Skilled in working with both quantitative and qualitative data to generate actionable insights

· Proficient in Microsoft Excel (advanced formulas, pivot tables, data modelling) and Power BI (DAX / M code)

· An excellent communicator, able to present findings to senior leaders while working constructively with colleagues unfamiliar with data

· Organised, flexible, and able to travel across the Diocese, including occasional evenings or weekends

It would be advantageous if you also:

· Have experience in charity, voluntary, public, or faith-based sectors where impact is complex

· Understand the structure and culture of the Church of England, dioceses, and parish life

What we can offer:

• Flexible working and TOIL
• Generous holiday entitlement
• Contributory pension scheme
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme and counselling service

The Diocese is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.

The wider a group’s diversity, the smarter, wiser, and more compassionate and creative its decision making becomes.
We are committed to achieving diversity throughout our Diocese by seeking UKME/GMH colleagues and those from a wide range of backgrounds, to help us create a culture of inclusion and belonging.

• Utilise and maintain relationships with key stakeholders across the organisation and with current and future digital partners. Use these networks to: 

• embed digital first principles and best practice. 

• Train, coach and mentor colleagues to be effective users of our CRM and website.

• Excellent verbal and written communications skills. Able to convey complex or technical information simply and clearly. 

• Experience of IT/Digital supplier engagement. Able to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

• Experience of working in a digital project/change environment. 

• Ability to work under pressure and to respond quickly to changing circumstances and to tight timetables 

Desirable criteria 

• Experience of working in an organisation which uses agile development methodologies. 

• A strong understanding of the National Cyber Security Centre principles and approach and General Data Protection regulations principles, audit and compliance.
