London, United Kingdom Redthread Remote Work Freelance Full time

Thank you for considering a Research and Evaluation manager role with Redthread. We are a team of compassionate, collaborative and courageous professionals committed to empowering young people to change their lives.

Be at the forefront of innovation and thought leadership around preventing violence impacting children and young people. Join us as our Research and Evaluation Manager during this pivotal time for our mission - not only by ensuring we evidence our impact, but also by helping us make it on the wider provision, systems and policies affecting young people from often the most marginalised communities. 

For this role, you would need to be able to think analytically and creatively, work collaboratively, and have a good hands-on understanding of research and evaluation methodologies and approaches. You will have excellent project management skills, and be able to engage with internal and external stakeholders at all levels, as comfortable building a relationship with a team member as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues, academic evaluators and funders.  

If that sounds like you, then come and help us demonstrate and maximise our impact for young people, funders, the wider sector and decision-makers.

Please check out our website for more information on the services we provide and learn more about us, including our commitment to safeguarding, equity, diversity and inclusion.
