Pro Bono Economics uses economics to empower the social sector and to increase wellbeing across the UK. We combine project work for individual charities and social enterprises with policy research that can drive systemic change.

Working with our network of both experienced consultant economists and economist volunteers from across the private, public and third sectors, we help charities and social enterprises appreciate their economic and social impact and so improve their overall effectiveness.

• Providing analytical support to allow charities to make statements such as ‘for every £1 invested in our work, we deliver £x of benefits to wider society’ and/or demonstrate their value in wellbeing terms. Organisations have used the findings from our evaluations to support campaigning, fundraising and to improve service delivery.

More recently, we have embarked on an exciting new phase of our development, adding a dedicated in-house research and policy function to supplement our charity projects with ‘macro’ insights into the value and the potential of civil society in the 2020s. Armed with fresh content, we want to play an enhanced role in actively shaping the policy debate in the UK.

Leap Confronting Conflict is looking for an IT and Database Senior Officer to provide our growing charity with ICT infrastructure support. This role is essential to the success of the organisation; primarily through excellent  provision of a broad range of internal IT support and expertise, also through the involvement in a variety of system change projects that work to improve our efficiencies and the digitisation of our operations and delivery.

Leap has recently invested in a Salesforce redevelopment project and this will be an opportunity to co-ordinate the implementation of training and new process development in this area.

This role will also manage relationships with a range of external consultants and suppliers, and as part of the Finance and Resources team providing organisation wide support.

This is a permanent part time role of 21 hours per week and will be managed by Leap’s Director of Finance and resources. We are keen to encourage flexible working of these hours across the week, specifically to enable provision of daily IT support.
