Change lives in a life-changing career
When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.
The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. And that impact can be felt by entire family. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer.
We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise well-being. And we stop at nothing to make their voices heard and their unique needs understood, so they can get the right care and support at the right time.
About the role
We’re looking for a Head of Research & Evidence to join our ambitious Research, Learning & Systems Change Team.
Young Lives vs Cancer has a strong and growing commitment to changing the system for children and young people with cancer, and their loved ones. Our North Star vision and Time is Now Strategy focus on influencing how the wider system works – from services and policy to practice on the ground – so that families get the support they need.
The Head of Research and Evidence sits in the Research, Learning & Systems Change team, within our Innovation, Policy & Systems Change Directorate. The role is responsible for ensuring our work is grounded in strong, credible and useful evidence, and that learning is actively used to shape decisions, practice and change across the system.
This is a leadership role within a small but ambitious team. You will set direction and provide thought leadership, but you will also be hands on – designing, commissioning, managing and using research alongside colleagues and partners.
Building trusted relationships and using evidence to influence thinking and action are central. You will work with colleagues, children and young people, families, and partner organisations (such as the North Star Cancer Collective) to learn, strengthen credibility and create change.
This role is subject to a Criminal Record Check. In the event of a successful application, a Basic Criminal Record Check will be completed. A previous conviction is not necessarily a barrier to employment. We encourage qualified applicants to apply, and we will consider each case individually.
What will I be doing?
No two days are the same at Young Lives vs Cancer. So, summarising your ‘day to day’ isn’t easy. You’ll work as part of a strong internal team, collaborating closely with colleagues across the organisation and with key external partners to generate, use and apply evidence that supports learning, influence and system change. Here are some of the main things you’ll be doing, but you’ll find more details in the job description and pack:
-
You’ll be setting the direction for research and learning, leading a clear and purposeful research programme focused on the psychosocial experiences of children and young people with cancer. You’ll ensure research is high‑quality, ethical and impactful, including commissioning work with partners and contributing to research funding bids.
-
You’ll be understanding needs and experiences to grow a strong, credible evidence base, building and using robust evidence on need, inequality, impact and progress to inform strategy, services, policy and system change. You’ll ensure children, young people and families meaningfully shape research and that insight is shared in clear, practical ways.
-
You’ll be providing system insight and leadership, analysing how the system works, identifying trends and pressures, and using evidence to guide where change is most needed. You’ll build trusted relationships across the voluntary sector, NHS and research community, sharing learning and strengthening our credibility and influence.
-
You’ll be turning learning into action and influence, helping teams apply research to real‑world practice and supporting testing, learning and improvement over time. You’ll put feedback and learning loops in place and assess how research‑informed change is affecting practice and outcomes.
What do I need?
Diverse perspectives and unique skill sets are at the heart of Young Lives vs Cancer. If you're passionate about making a positive impact and eager to learn, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet the criteria and person specification fully. Your potential is what matters most to us, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment to help you develop.
The key skills we’re looking for in this role are:
-
Experience leading and delivering research, including setting direction, choosing methods, commissioning or carrying out research, analysing data, and ensuring high quality and ethical practice.
-
Strong research and analytical skills, with confidence working with both qualitative and quantitative data and evidence, and turning insight into practical action.
-
Experience using evidence to support change, such as shaping strategy, influencing policy, improving services or supporting system change.
-
Experience working across organisations, building trusted relationships with colleagues, partners, and where appropriate, children, young people and families.
-
Ability to communicate complex research clearly and accessibly to different audiences, in writing and in conversation.
-
A collaborative way of working, with strong people skills, curiosity and a learning mindset, and a clear commitment to equity, inclusion and anti‑oppressive practice.
What will I gain?
For people to reach their full potential, they need the right environment. As a member of Team Young Lives, you’ll be made to feel supported, valued and appreciated. Here’s how we do it:
- Flexible working: we’re open to working hours outside of 9 - 5 and we can talk through your flexibility requirements at interview stage
- Well-being, Thinking & Growth Days: four days a year to to step back from the day-to-day and focus on your own learning and development

- Enhanced pension
- Access to our employee savings scheme

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their sex, ethnicity, class, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation – or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don’t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it.
We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support. We know we aren’t there yet, and we’re passionately committed to taking actions and making changes to be a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organisation. This includes taking anti-oppressive action and removing barriers in our recruitment practices. Our Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging strategy will tell you more.
To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value AI adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to tell us about your skills and experiences in your own voice.
Accessibility
We’re committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and we’ll always aim to be as accommodating as possible. Please let us know in your application form of any adjustments or access requirements we could make to help you with the application process and interview.
To hear more about this role, please sign up to one of our informal drop in sessions taking place at 12:30pm on Tuesday 26th May and 17:30pm on Monday 01st June.

People’s Health Trust is a national charity working with local communities across Great Britain to stop people dying too young, help them live longer, healthier lives. and make health equal.
Life expectancy rose for a hundred years, but in the last decade it has gone backwards — with the steepest declines in the most disadvantaged areas. Across Great Britain, people in these neighbourhoods die up to 13 years earlier than those in the wealthiest places. These inequalities are driven by changeable factors such as poor housing, low-paid work, and limited access to good education, clean air and natural spaces. People’s Health Trust exists to end this unfairness and ensure everyone has the chance to live a long, healthy life.
Our work focuses on:
- programmes supporting people living in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods to address the conditions that make them unwell — from poor housing and limited access to advice services, to a lack of natural space and pathways into good work.
- using data, evidence and community expertise to design solutions, not just restate problems. Our work improves health and wellbeing from cradle to retirement.
- our lived experience network – made up of over 600 grassroots leaders from across England, Scotland and Wales – works directly with us to share evidence of the impact that poor housing, low income, poor jobs and poor education have on the lives of their communities, as well as timely and cost-effective solutions.
This role is crucial to the Trust’s future work. With a strong interest in social justice and a track record of delivering high-impact marketing and communications strategies, you will lead on media relations, digital content, campaigns, and brand management, ensuring the charity’s voice is clear, compelling, and aligned with its mission.
You will bring your expertise in brand development and delivering integrated communications plans to engage business, policy and funder audiences.
You will have a sound understanding of equity, diversity and inclusion and its effect on health and wellbeing.
We are committed to being a Disability Confident Employer. Our diversity data shows that we are currently under-represented by certain groups of people. We particularly encourage applications from people from racially minoritised communities, disabled people and people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
If this sounds like the role you are looking for and you feel you have the skills and experience we need, full details of the role and how to apply are on our website.
If you wish to have an informal discussion about the opportunity, please contact Alex Williams at Giving Back Recruitment.
Please get in touch if you require any additional support with your job application. This particularly applies to people who need us to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010. This could include, but is not limited to, accepting applications in a different format, offering information or explanations in a way which helps you, or working with BSL interpreters.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 3 June and interviews will be held in London on Thursday 25 June.
We work with partners to tackle poor health and early death.
