London, Greater London, United Kingdom National Learning and Work Institute Full time

Job title: Director of Policy & Research

Organisation: Learning & Work Institute

Salary: £80,000 - £92,500

Location: Hybrid working – 40% of time spent in either the London or Leicester office

Join Learning and Work Institute as Director of Policy and Research. In this role, you will lead research and development across learning, skills and employment areas, and contribute to policy which influences a fair and prosperous society.

Learning and Work Institute is an independent policy, research and development organisation focused on lifelong learning, full employment and better work. We research what works, influence policy, and develop new ideas to improve practice. Social and economic inclusion are at the heart of all we do as we work towards a fair and prosperous society.

Our vision is for a prosperous and fair society in which learning and work provide opportunities for everyone to realise their potential and ambitions throughout life.

The Director of Policy and Research is a key senior leadership role at Learning and Work Institute. Reporting to the Chief Executive, the post-holder will be responsible for leading a team of around 30 experts in research, analysis, and policy development in these fields, generating more than £2.5 million in programme income and achieving a significant impact in policy and practice.

The appointed person will likely bring advanced knowledge of a range of methods and approaches that can be applied to research and development within public policy and will have a clear understanding of programme and project teaching and processes.

The successful candidate will also be committed to Learning and Works Institute's charitable aims and objectives. You will have a track record of sizable income generation including developing proposals, developing funding relationships, and bid writing. You will also have a track record of delivering complex and high-profile programmes of research and/or development work, including managing resources and delivering to time and quality expectations within budget.

We welcome the appointed person's proven track record in building strong relationships with national and local government, delivery organisations, partners and funders. Experience of leading a range of research and development approaches, such as reports, evaluations, pilot development and technical support, is also welcomed.

As a senior leader of the largest staff team, the post-holder will need to possess excellent leadership and management skills, including an ability to inspire teams, develop and motivate staff, ensure high performance and deliver continuous improvement.

The opportunity is offered on a permanent basis, though Learning and Work Institute is welcoming of flexible working patterns and arrangements, to be agreed upon appointment. We are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across all levels of the organisation and continuously strive to create an environment where all employees feel valued and supported.
