This role will be responsible for the development, management and implementation of a collection of inter-related projects.  These projects comprise the implementation of two of the recommendations in the IICSA Report and other related developments which the Church has been planning.

In Phase One, this programme of projects will be introduced with a group of “pathfinder” dioceses and cathedrals. Following evaluation and adjustment, Phase Two will be rolled out across the Church.

The five projects which make up this role are:

1. The implementation of IICSA Recommendation 1

This is a major structural change in which the role of “Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser” changes to a new one of “Diocesan Safeguarding Officer” with greater autonomy. Supervision arrangements also change from being arranged locally to being directly supervised and quality assured by the National Safeguarding Team.

2. The introduction on a pilot basis of a “regionalised” model of support for dioceses and cathedrals in respect of safeguarding.

This is the second major, and related, structural change. In this pilot Regional Safeguarding Leads (RSLs) will be appointed to work with small groups of dioceses and cathedrals. The RSLs will supervise the dioceses’ / cathedrals’ safeguarding advisers but will also lead cross-diocese developments such as survivor engagement, sharing of expertise and good practice, joint commissioning of resources, peer review.

3.The implementation of IICSA Recommendation 8.

This involves the design and implementation of independent external auditing of the Church’s safeguarding practices.

4. The introduction of the Church’s quality assurance framework and national safeguarding standards.

The Church has a draft quality assurance framework. This now needs to be introduced into use in the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals so that it can be further developed in readiness for implementation across the Church.

5. The development of a consistent methodology to enable dioceses and cathedrals to assess local safeguarding need and determine the resources needed to deliver good safeguarding practice.

The 42 dioceses and 42 cathedrals are responsible for the funding of their safeguarding arrangements (which include, for example, investigation of allegations, responding to survivors, training, quality assurance). The level of funding varies considerably between dioceses / cathedrals. One reason for this is the lack of a consistent methodology to assess both local need and the resources needed to achieve a good standard of safeguarding.

The role is based in the National Safeguarding Team but also links with the Church’s Project Management Office.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Planning and co-designing (with the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals) the projects and proactively monitoring progress, resolving issues and initiating appropriate corrective action.
• Ensuring the integrity and coherence of the projects, and its continuous alignment with organisational strategies and departmental goals.
• Developing the plans for the delivery of the individual projects, setting out the key actions, steps and timescales needed for each project, the critical paths and the co-dependencies / interfaces between them.
• Leading on the direct management and delivery of specific elements of the projects. 
• Establishing effective working relationships (individually and collectively) with the key stakeholders in the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals. This will include, in particular, bishops, diocesan secretaries, deans, cathedral administrators, and diocesan and cathedral safeguarding advisers.
• Supporting the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals in the establishment of local project groups and governance arrangements.
• Developing arrangements for the engagement of victims and survivors of abuse in co-design and programme development.
• Managing risks to the programme's successful outcome.
• Developing the evaluation framework for Phase 1 and potentially leading the evaluation process.
• Developing the plan for roll out of the projects across the Church in Phase 2.

The main duties and responsibilities of your post are outlined in your job description.  This list is not exhaustive and is intended to reflect your main tasks and areas of work.  Changes may occur over time and you will be expected to agree any reasonable changes to your job description that are commensurate with your banding and in line with the general nature of your post.  You will be consulted about any changes to your job description before these are implemented.

The Youth Endowment Fund

Senior Research Manager

Reports to: Head of Toolkit

Period: Fixed term for 2 years, with a possibility of an extension

Rate: £47-50k

Closing date: 9am, 24th May

Interviews: Week commencing 31st May

This role has been revised since it was first advertised.

About the Youth Endowment Fund

In recent years there has been a significant increase in violent crime. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. For children and young people, there have been particularly large increases in those who are both the perpetrators and victims of offences involving knives. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. Many organisations have this calling. Our unique role is to identify what works best and build a movement to put it into practice. We do this by finding the very best ways to prevent youth violence, funding great initiatives and working to scale them up and spread great ideas.

We believe that rigorous research can help us understand the approaches, programmes and practices that hold the most promise for keeping children safe. However, too often this research is hidden behind a paywall, written in academic jargon and difficult to apply to practice. The YEF is developing a series of resources which overcome these barriers and ensure research can make a difference to real-world challenges.  

The Senior Research Manager will play a key role in ensuring that the YEF develops evidence-based resources that lead to change. For example, two key resources you will work on are:

• The YEF evidence and gaps map. The current version of the map was published In January 2021 and features over 2,000 studies. This is the world’s largest database of studies on interventions that aim to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence.
• The YEF Toolkit - a free-to-access, online summary of research on preventing young people getting involved in violent crime.[1] It aims to make research findings accessible and easy-to-understand for a non-academic audience.  It will give an overview of the ‘best bets’ for reducing violence – an overall picture of the approaches that are most likely to succeed, given the available research. 

Key Responsibilities and Projects

You will be responsible for leading and supporting a range of research projects and accessible resources that are central to YEF’s mission. This will include:

• Leading the generation of new evidence synthesis to support the YEF’s work. You will be the YEF’s expert on evidence synthesis. You will have responsibility for ensuring that all YEF reviews are completed to the highest standards.
• Leading a major project to commission a batch of new systematic reviews. These reviews will be the foundation for YEF’s evidence tools over the next three years. You will ensure that these reviews address strategically important questions and provide information which helps the YEF bring about change.
• Leading a complex project to expand and update the YEF’s Evidence and Gaps Map (EGM). You will be responsible for managing the external research partner who develops this database. You will commission work which uses the database to address important questions and generate new insights.
• Leading the development of new evidence-informed tools and resources. You will use findings from evidence synthesis to design and develop innovative and impactful resources which enable the application of research in practice.
• Work with the Head of Toolkit to ensure that Toolkit content is rigorously researched but easy to understand and apply. You will take a lead in writing content for sections of the Toolkit.
• Contributing research to support the scoping, development and delivery of YEF’s grant making.
• Ensuring that YEF strategy and decision-making are informed by the best available research.
• Developing a process for reviewing and editing YEF evaluation reports. Every programme the YEF funds will be independently evaluated and the report published online. You will work with the YEF evaluation team to ensure these reports are accessible and useful.
• Managing and supporting junior staff in the Evidence and Evaluation Team.

Key Requirements

You are this sort of person:

• You don't want your days to pass without making a difference. You want to play a significant part in reducing the level of youth violence. You are passionate about the potential for rigorous and accessible research to transform the way we protect children and help them to thrive.
• You have a proven track record of commissioning or conducting high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analysis. You have a good understanding of these methods and can discuss the pros and cons of them. You might have gained this expertise through your academic studies, training, research or professional experience.
• You have at least 5 years’ experience working in a research and evidence role in a related sector. You have a strong understanding of evaluation and/or evidence review methodologies. You can critically appraise the design of evaluations and reviews.

• You have experience of managing complex projects. You put the right plans in place and develop the necessary relationships to deliver them on time and to a high quality.

• You can write well. You have that rare skill of writing in plain English. You avoid jargon. If something is complicated, you are good at explaining it.
• You are fascinated by and thoughtful about how people engage with research. You can present information so that people find it engaging, use it, recommend it to others and return to it. You understand why people resist making evidence-based decisions. You come alive talking about how to make information and evidence really accessible so that people change what they do. You are actively engaged in the latest debates about how research is used.
• You learn fast but remain humble. You are very quick at getting your head around things. You like learning. You are very good at synthesising information. You know how much you don't know. You know that you can learn more. You know that it's easy to assume you know when you don't. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit. You are a great and supportive team player.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views and values.

You may have:
