There is a rare but exciting opportunity for a Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Lead to join London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) on a permanent contract.

 

London’s VRU is focused on stopping violence before it happens through an approach that is rooted in prevention and early intervention.

 

We use research, data and intelligence to better understand why violence occurs and we take action to prevent it now, and in the long-term.

 

We are a team of specialists who use our expertise to work in partnership with communities, councils, the NHS, public health, the police, schools and colleges and charities, to co-ordinate efforts and bring about change.

  • Has excellent project management and prioritisation skills.
  • Has experience analysing qualitative and quantitative data and presenting complex information to senior stakeholders.
  • Has knowledge and experience of using evidence and data to identify challenges and improve public services.
