If you're a bold thinker who loves turning complex data into compelling stories, thrives in fast-evolving environments, and is excited about helping build a future-focused, resilient team, we want to hear from you. You’ll be part of a team that champions innovative research and drives sector-shaping insights — with the chance to become a thought leader and influencer in the global SRHR space. Come push boundaries with us and help drive meaningful change around the world.

Why This Matters 

In a world where 218 million women lack access to contraception, evidence isn't just academic—it's life-changing. Your work will directly influence: Delivering of lifechanging services to millions of women; $2+ billion in annual global SRHR investments that transforms healthcare delivery across 36 countries

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. If the environmental movement is to succeed in creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart of our programmes. We, therefore, encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply.

GUARANTEED INTERVIEW SCHEME

We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.

If you would like further information, support with access requirements, such as an adjustment to the application or interview process, or an informal chat, please contact get in touch.

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. 

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. 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.
