Do you want to play a key role in an organisation which stands up for children? Join us as a Senior Evidence and Learning Adviser and help us to generate the evidence that will unlock our understanding of the ways in which can reduce the impact of poverty on children’s lives and support their early learning outcomes.

Every child has the right to ensure that their basic needs are met, and to receive the encouragement and help which enables them to reach their full potential. The greatest barrier to this in the UK is poverty and inequality. Our mission is to secure a sustainable reduction in the number of children growing up in poverty and work to narrow the early learning gap between those children and their better off peers.

We believe this future is possible. It requires more money to be put back into the pockets of parents and carers, decent jobs, more opportunities for young children to play and learn, and policies and services which centre children and families’ needs, reduce discrimination, and that are designed to help children to flourish by preventing difficulties at the earliest possible stage: in pregnancy, at birth, in the crucial first 1,001 days of life and throughout childhood.

We work closely with the communities we aim to support. We recognise their diversity and strengths as well as the challenges they face, and we aim to reflect their diversity and experiences in our UK staff team.

The UK Evidence and Learning team generates evidence that enables us to secure changes to policy and practice, in every nation of the United Kingdom. Through our work, we demonstrate what is effective in improving lives for children and families; we collect evidence directly from children and families to help us understand how current practice affects their lives; we develop and test promising, sustainable interventions in communities; and we gather and synthesise evidence from local partners, organisations in our sector, and academia. We draw on all this learning to work with colleagues to influence decision-makers and advocate for policy and practice change, with and on behalf of families.

As a Senior Evidence and Learning Adviser, you will:

• Develop strategies for generating evidence and learning, especially focussing on qualitative research, participatory practice and other open research and intelligence gathering approaches.
• Undertake primary research and evaluation, analysis and evidence syntheses.
• Support teams to implement evidence strategies, building their capacity and confidence to support evidence and learning practice and ensuring that the approaches put in place are rigorous and practical.
• Support teams in developing and using theories of change and outcomes frameworks.
• Capture and disseminate our data and learning.

To be successful you will:

• Hold expertise in evaluation and evidence generation across a wide range of methods, although we are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with a strong technical background leading qualitative, ethnographic, innovation and participatory research practice.
• Have experience of and be confident in undertaking evaluation and research with both children and families and with marginalised groups.
• Hold expertise in learning and improvement methodologies and have experience of using data and evidence for improvement.
• Hold strong analytical skills, be able to interpret complex data and make it meaningful to others.
• Be adept at developing relationships and working with a wide range of individuals, teams and in different policy and practice contexts.
• Be a confident and experienced user of data analysis software, such as Nvivo or Atlas.ti

Diversity & Inclusion
