About the role
This is a senior advocacy role focused on supporting parents with learning disabilities and/or neurodivergent needs. You will lead complex and sensitive cases, work confidently across multi-agency environments, and help shape high-quality advocacy practice within the service.

You will bring:

• A Level 4 Qualification in Advocacy (or equivalent)
• Experience supporting people with learning disabilities and neurodivergent needs
• Good knowledge of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, Equality Act and safeguarding frameworks
• Strong communication skills, including making information accessible
• The ability to manage complex caseloads independently

Experience working with parents, safeguarding cases or mentoring colleagues is welcomed but not essential.

What's on offer
The Elfrida Society places real value on staff wellbeing and professional support. Benefits include:

• 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata)
• Occupational sick pay
• Regular clinical supervision and reflective practice
• Ongoing training and development
• Flexible working where possible

From building Power BI dashboards to strengthening logframes and automating data flows, your work will directly influence how Lumos delivers impact at scale.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading on the design and improvement of MEAL systems, tools, and databases
• Building dashboards and visualisations (e.g. Power BI) to track global performance
• Supporting programme teams to develop strong logframes, indicators, and results frameworks

• Strong skills in Excel (advanced), Power BI, KoboToolbox or similar tools
• Experience designing databases, dashboards, and data systems
• Confidence working with logframes, IPTTs, and indicator frameworks
• A passion for turning data into insight and supporting teams to use it

Bonus if you bring:

• Experience supporting partners internationally
• Knowledge of data protection (e.g. GDPR)
• Additional languages (Spanish, Romanian, Ukrainian)

Why join Lumos?

• Be part of a global movement to ensure children grow up in safe, loving families
• Work on meaningful, system-level change across multiple countries
• Hybrid and flexible working
• 30 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Enhanced family-friendly policies and pension
• A collaborative, values-driven culture where your work has real impact

About Lumos

Founded by J.K. Rowling, Lumos works globally to transform care systems and end the institutionalisation of children. Today, over 5 million children still live in institutions—and millions more are at risk.

Our ambition is bold:

• Help 500,000 children transition to family-based care
• Prevent 10 million children from being separated from their families

You’ll be joining us at a critical moment, helping us scale our impact through stronger systems, better data, and smarter decision-making.

Key details

• Location: London (hybrid working)
• Contract: 18-month fixed term
• Salary: £36,000–£45,000 (DOE)
• Hours: 35 hours per week

If you’re excited by the idea of using data to drive global change and want your work to have a direct impact on children’s lives, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note:

• Only candidates with the right to work in the UK will be considered
• Candidates must be based in the UK
• Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted
