Research information manager jobs

The role focuses on building and maintaining strong relationships with partner organisations, supporting firms throughout their participation in the Suicide Prevention Action Lab (SPAL) programme, and ensuring they remain motivated, accountable, and on track to deliver their commitments.

We’re bringing together six representatives from financial services firms to explore ways to improve support for customers experiencing suicidality. The Partnerships Officer will play a key role in supporting the delivery of the SPAL, working closely with participating firms to assist them in developing, testing, and implementing practical changes to help prevent suicidality. 

The Partnerships Officer will manage relationships with multiple firms simultaneously, each at a different stage in their journey to testing and embedding new and improved approaches to identifying and supporting customers experiencing or at risk of suicidality. Success in the role requires excellent organisation, persistence, and relationship management skills, alongside the ability to understand the challenges and competing demands faced by participating firms and to support them in maintaining momentum and delivering results.

The role offers significant autonomy and responsibility, with opportunities to build expertise, lead stakeholder relationships, and contribute directly to the SPAL’s growth and impact.

Key tasks in the role will include:

• Acting as the primary day-to-day contact for participating firms, building strong and productive relationships throughout their involvement in the SPAL. Coordinating and supporting consultancy and coaching meetings with participating firms.
• Developing and maintaining a strong working knowledge of emerging Action Lab research insights. Applying research insights in discussions with firms, supporting them in translating evidence into new or improved tools, processes and communications.
• Supporting a portfolio of firm representatives simultaneously, ensuring each remains engaged, motivated and on track to deliver against agreed objectives and milestones.
• Developing a strong understanding of participating firms' priorities, pressures and operational realities, using this insight to provide effective support.
• Building and maintaining relationships with external stakeholders beyond participating firms, and developing strong internal relationships, proactively sharing insights and intelligence from Action Labs to maximise our organisational impact.
• Identifying opportunities to raise the profile of the Action Lab research-to-impact model, including relevant conferences, speaking opportunities and awards.

Policy and Research Officer

This exciting role covers both legal and policy work with real scope to develop professional skills and make a tangible impact. It would suit someone who is legally and analytically minded, who is also interested in reducing destitution by influencing Home Office policy and practice.

ASAP’s policy work emerges from evidence gathered from our appeals work and our Advice Line, ASAN and training work. We focus on the quality of Home Office decisions on asylum support, including whether they are lawful, as well as access to justice through the appeals system. As such, our policy work always has a legal slant. We carry out our policy work through discussions with officials, and where necessary parliamentary work and strategic litigation.

The role includes:

1. Legal Advice - The post-holder will represent destitute people seeking asylum at the AST as well as offering advice to other advisers via ASAP’s second-tier Advice Line.
2. Policy and Research - Working closely with colleagues, the post-holder will:

• Look for emerging trends emanating from ASAP’s legal work to support the development of external policy positions;
• Alongside colleagues in the policy team, undertake in-depth research based on this analysis;
• Assist the Policy and Research Manager to engage with the Home Office, the AST and other stakeholders to influence improvements to policy and practice

       3. Monitoring: the post-holder is responsible for collating and analysing operational data from our appeals and Advice Line work. This is used to inform policy and operational decisions. They will also assist the Policy and Research Manager with the transition to a new database which we are in the process of acquiring.

You will:

• Have strong communication skills, with the ability to explain legal concepts clearly and confidently to a range of audiences.
• Be legally minded, with a strong interest in the law and how it can be used to challenge injustice and uphold rights.
• Have an aptitude for interpreting data and presenting information in an accessible way.
• Have a good understanding of the asylum support system — ideally gained through direct advice work or closely related experience.
• Be a collaborative team player who enjoys working closely with others in a small, supportive team.

You do not need to be legally qualified, but you do need enthusiasm for legal work and a commitment to using the law as a tool for positive change.

You’ll be joining a small, friendly and supportive organisation where colleagues work closely together and value learning, collaboration and mutual support.

Closing date for applications by: midnight on Sunday 5th July

Face to face interviews will be held in London on Thursday 16th July

Greenwich Hospital is the lead charitable funding organisation for the Royal Navy and wider Royal Navy Community. As such, we are able to facilitate the identification of needs and the setting of strategic priorities, build capacity, deliver significant impact and encourage enhanced collaboration within the Naval charity sector.

We have undertaken significant reform in order to generate increased income for grant making – which has risen from £5m in 2023 to £10m in 2026.

Part of this revision has been the implementation of a new grants strategy in 2024, which seeks in particular to evidence need in order to guide the current and future funding of charitable support, with the expansion of our proactive and preventative funding to support education, young people and families. Our grants now encompass more preventative and wellbeing-enhancing education delivery not covered by public funding. 

Following a review of our education and employment funding strategies, we are now focussing on widening our funding support beyond the longstanding bursary scheme for the Royal Hospital School. We are funding new educational programmes (such as free tutoring support) and developmental extra-curricular programmes with varied activities for children in order to enhance social mobility, compensate for the disadvantages of service life and enhance retention in service. This is undertaken in partnership with the Naval Children’s Charity, Royal Naval Sailing Association and Andrew Simpson Foundation. These funding streams also include increased focus on supporting partners of serving personnel with life opportunities and employability programmes.

Engaging with the research community to fill knowledge gaps has been key to the identification and balancing of current against future need, enabling accurate financial forecasting and income generation. We have recently completed our first long-term study of the welfare needs of the RN/RM community with granular demographic and qualitative data running through to 2040, and have now developed a sustainable funding strategy out to then.  

This work has been led and overseen by our current Research and Education Grants Manager over the last two years. She will be going on maternity leave in mid-September, so we seek to recruit maternity cover for a fixed-term period of 14 months to join our charity team of four. The expected start date will be the beginning of September, but we hope the successful candidate will be able to meet with the current Manager occasionally before then.

Working alongside strategic partners, we will keep our grant priorities under regular review and adjust according to evidenced need. The Research and Education Grants Manager plays a significant role in this life enhancing work.

It is expected that the current Research and Education Grants Manager will return to work, therefore this maternity cover role will be made redundant at the expiry of its term.
