To Apply:

The closing date for the receipt of completed applications is: 20th July 2025. 

We’re looking for someone who’s not just skilled in monitoring and evaluation but genuinely curious about what works, why it works, and how we can do better. This is a hands-on role based in Nigeria for six months, designed for someone who wants to work closely in implementation, influence strategy, and get deep into the mechanics of how impact happens. We see this as a first step toward a long-term role at Lafiya, with the fellowship designed as a pathway into a permanent, full-time, in-country or remote M&E Specialist position. We plan to determine the compensation for that role once the fellowship concludes, and it will be informed by your contributions to Lafiya during the fellowship and other factors. 

You’ll have real ownership from the start. You will help us design our end-to-end evaluation strategy, test and refine it as we grow, and generate insights that shape both daily decisions and long-term direction. You’ll work closely with and be supported by senior leadership, contribute to programme design, and build systems that help us learn faster and stay accountable to our goals. 

This is not a desk-bound research role. You’ll spend time where the work happens, strengthening the practical side of monitoring, troubleshooting what isn’t working, and building confidence across the team to use data well. 

This role is open to all applicants, and we strongly encourage candidates from Nigeria to apply. Field immersion is critical to succeeding in the long-term role, which is why this initial placement is in person. For those relocating from outside Nigeria, Lafiya will cover the cost of a return flight, visa, vaccinations, travel insurance and accommodation. After the fellowship, we want the role to shift to a permanent position based anywhere within ±3 hours of GMT.

Quick Summary

• Full-time
• USD 1,500 gross per month during fellowship; permanent full-time salary to be determined after the fellowship.
• Nigeria-based (either Kano or Abuja); 6 months with a potential for long-term renewal based on mutual fit and performance
• Reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer
• Deadline for application: 23:59 (BST) Thu 17 July 2025

What You’ll Do

• Help us overhaul and strengthen how we collect, track, and use data – from making sure our monitoring tools are practical and our indicators measure the right thing, to fixing messy pipelines and leveling up our dashboards from good to great.
• Spot gaps in data quality, figure out what’s going wrong, and implement fixes that are fast, useful, and stick.
• Design and run internal evaluations, anything from a quick A/B test to a more structured quasi-experiment, that help us learn, adapt, and improve how we work.
• Synthesise and share findings clearly so they feed directly into operational decisions. We care more about honest insights than perfect answers.
• Work closely with field and programme staff to build comfort and confidence using data. You’ll be training people, co-analysing results, and helping make sense of it all.
• Help shape new programmes by building out indicators, setting baselines, and making sure our theories of change actually reflect how things work on the ground.
• Turn data into action: create sharp, accessible briefs and visuals; host workshops or reviews where teams genuinely learn; write up findings that aren’t just reports but tools for change.
• Keep us sharp. Help make sure we’re measuring the stuff that really matters, asking the right questions, and staying focused on what evidence can actually tell us.

Who You Are

We care less about years of experience and more about how you think. You don’t need to tick every box. We’re looking for someone who’s curious, rigorous, and ready to dive in.

We’re looking for someone who can design and lead Lafiya’s overall evaluation strategy, not just execute technical tasks. You should be comfortable zooming out to ask whether we’re measuring the right things, as well as diving deep into implementation.

You’re someone who:

• Cares deeply about making a real-world difference and sees evaluation as a tool for improvement, not just accountability.
• Thinks critically about what’s worth measuring, how we measure it, and why it matters, not just how to run the numbers.
• Has experience or strong instincts in designing M&E systems and tools (e.g. theories of change, sampling plans) that are practical and help programmes learn and adapt.
• Knows how to design rigorous evaluations, including randomised experiments, and is comfortable balancing methodological integrity with operational realities.
• Can work with both qualitative and quantitative data. You might have run A/B tests, quasi-experiments, facilitated focus groups, built sampling plans, or developed theories of change. You know how to match methods to questions.
• Spots noise and bias in data, and knows how to clean, challenge, or adjust it without making things more complicated than they need to be.
• Has used tools like SurveyCTO, CommCare, Stata, R, or Google Sheets, and is happy learning new ones when needed. Maybe you've built a dashboard or set up a useful data workflow. Maybe you're just quick to figure things out.
• Communicates clearly in writing and conversation, whether you’re sharing a short visual brief or a detailed report. You know how to speak to field teams, decision-makers, and funders without losing meaning.
• Works well with others, stays humble, and is driven by learning. You like taking initiative and aren’t afraid to ask questions. You’re comfortable saying when you don’t know something and enjoy figuring it out.

A Master’s degree in a relevant field (public health, economics, evaluation, data science, or social sciences) is helpful but not required. What matters is that you bring strong foundations, an eagerness to learn, and a drive to use evidence to improve access to contraception – especially if you’re looking for a role where you can take real ownership and shape how things work on the ground.

Why You Should Apply

This role comes with a lot of responsibility and real influence. You won’t be just cleaning data or filling out donor reports. You’ll be shaping how we learn, improve, and stay honest about what’s working.

We’re a fast-moving and mission-driven team working in places where access to contraception is still far too limited. The systems you design and the insights you generate will directly affect how millions access care. You’ll get to build and test ideas quickly, work closely with senior leadership, and see your work applied in the field almost immediately. There’s room here to take initiative, make decisions, and push us to do better. We don’t have layers of approval or endless review processes – if it makes sense, we’ll try it.

You’ll grow alongside a young, ambitious and supportive organisation poised for significant expansion in the coming years, giving you opportunities for personal and professional growth as well as a chance to leave a lasting mark on Lafiya’s work. We’re investing in this position because M&E is central to how we grow, learn, and stay accountable.

Benefits include:

• 30 days of paid annual leave
• Fully paid maternity leave
• Flexibility in where, when and how you work
• For candidates relocating to Nigeria, we offer logistical support and reimbursement for travel and accommodation.
• Working closely with the CEO and a team of senior leaders who are collaborative, ambitious and serious about impact.

What is the recruitment process for this role?

We value your time and aim to make our recruitment process as insightful as possible. It includes:

• Stage 1: Application Form. Share your CV and complete a 20-minute multiple-choice quiz to assess your fit for the role.
• Stage 2: Test Task. Engage in a 1-2 hours task that mirrors the kind of work you'll do with us.
• Stage 3: Interview. This is the final stage, after which we’ll make offers. All candidates will be asked the same questions in a 1-hour interview, and you’ll get the questions in advance. It will also be an opportunity for you to ask us questions.

We're committed to transparency and will provide feedback from Stage 2 onwards

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a thoughtful, curious and impact-driven individual with experience in data analysis and evaluation to join us as a Data and Evaluation Adviser (located in South Yorkshire). In this role, you will support local partners with evaluation and impact measurement and help ensure we capture powerful insights from our work in communities and use that learning to influence policy and practice change at both a regional South Yorkshire, and national level.

This is a new and exciting position that comes out of our ambitious strategy in the UK and South Yorkshire.

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.  When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave.  We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

In the UK, our mission is focused on ending child poverty. We work alongside families, partners and communities in places like South Yorkshire to build long-term, place-based change, rooted in lived experience and driven by data and evidence.

About the role

As Data and Evaluation Adviser, you'll ensure our work in places is underpinned by robust data, reflective evaluation, and a commitment to learning. You'll work both locally and nationally – supporting partners in communities to improve how they capture and measure impact and analysing the combined data and learning to help inform our influencing and advocacy strategies. Throughout your work you will ensure that we adhere to high standards of safe and ethical practice and keep community and partners central in your approaches.

Approximately 50% of your time will be focused on work in South Yorkshire and 50% supporting national policy and research work including reporting, influencing, and collaboration across internal teams.

This role will also require approximately 1-2 days per week working with community partners in Sheffield and we also expect travel across the South Yorkshire region as our partnerships grow.

If you are passionate about using data and evidence to inform impact and change and want to contribute to building a more just and inclusive future for children, we'd love to hear from you.

In this role, you will: 

• Ensure consistent and ethical approaches to data and learning across teams and partners.

• Support partners to strengthen their evaluation and impact measurement approaches.

• Design and analyse qualitative and quantitative data collection (e.g. interviews, focus groups, surveys).

• Identify trends and insights from partner and local data to shape Save the Children UK's local and national influencing work.

• Produce accessible and compelling reports, visuals and narratives from data.

• Work closely with children, families and community partners to ensure that insights reflect lived experience.

• Maintain and develop data management systems that enable collaboration and continuous learning.

• Ensure all data use complies with GDPR, the Data Protection Act and ethical research standards.

• Collaborate with colleagues across policy, advocacy, media and participation to ensure data drives decision-making.

About you

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Strong understanding of evaluation methodologies and experience conducting both qualitative and quantitative research.

• Excellent analytical skills and the ability to present findings in clear, engaging and accessible formats.

• Experience of supporting partners or community-based organisations in data collection and evaluation.

• Knowledge of relevant legislation and ethical considerations in data and research (e.g. GDPR, safeguarding).

• Strong project and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to juggle priorities and work flexibly.

• A commitment to social justice and to using data as a tool to improve outcomes for children living in poverty.

• Proficiency in tools such as Excel or other data management/visualisation systems.

• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

What we offer you:

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.

• We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter).  This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building. 

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here. 

This is a pivotal moment for KRAN as we launch a new salesforce database, and start to implement our new Strategic Plan 2025-2028 and Breakthrough Objectives to reach our ambition that all young refugees and asylum seekers who are in care in Kent can thrive. The Impact and Insights Officer will coordinate the collection, monitoring, and analysis of data across our services, helping staff use data to improve outcomes and helping the organization tell compelling stories of impact to funders, partners, and the public. We are looking for someone who champions data and its importance for continuous improvement and to demonstrate and evidence the impact of our work.

About Young Sounds UK 

Young Sounds UK exists because musical talent is everywhere but opportunity isn’t: family finances and other obstacles too often get in the way. We’re here to change this in two key ways:

• We support young musicians from low-income families with funding and other help 
• We support music education through training, advocacy and research.

Established in 1998 we work across genres and across the UK. Our four programme areas are: 

• Discover: training teachers in how to spot young people’s musical potential 
• Connect: targeting and sustaining young people’s emerging talent through strategic support
• Thrive: funding young talent UK wide through annual grants and tailor-made help for individual musicians
• Innovate: leading new thinking and action on talent development

Role overview 

Young Sounds is a reflective organisation. We’ve always invested time and effort in seeking out, understanding and demonstrating the difference our programmes are making. We believe in learning from experience. This is what we mean by evaluation.

We have recently secured funding to build on our evaluation work to date, and it is a priority for us to more fully embed evaluation throughout our work – the Evaluation Director will be critical to us achieving this. The Evaluation Director is a new role and will lead the development and implementation of Young Sounds’ evaluation strategy, ensuring that our work is evidence-based and impactful.

Key areas of responsibility 

• Evaluation strategy and organisational learning 
• Programme evaluation 
• Organisational capacity and culture
