Worcester, United Kingdom LUCY FAITHFULL FOUNDATION Full time

About us The Lucy Faithfull Foundation is a UK-wide charity that exists to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. We’re bold, we’re pioneering, we’re growing, and we want your help.

We’re here for everyone who needs us. We protect children by working with people who pose a risk and diverting them from causing harm. We support individuals and families who have been affected by abuse. And we help professionals who work with families to create safer environments for children.

We run the confidential Stop It Now helpline and Shore, a website for teenagers.

We use data and insight, alongside decades of experience, to develop innovative strategies and interventions to make prevention a reality.

We engage with policy and decision makers to advocate for a public health approach to child sexual abuse.

We bring our understanding and knowledge of what keeps children safe to the widest possible audience.

Our values help guide our actions and help ensure we achieve our purpose: we act with integrity, we are collaborative, we are innovative, we are ambitious and we have hope.

Our dedicated and expert staff are based around the UK with offices in Bromsgrove, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Epsom.

About you and the role

We are looking for a dynamic and talented leader to drive the effectiveness of our research and to help us understand the impact we have on preventing child sexual abuse and protecting children from harm. It’s essential we gather data and insight that helps us improve what we do, building on what works and changing what doesn’t while also helping us demonstrate the impact we have to other organisations and government departments – and we’re looking for someone to help us do this.

With the support of a small team, you will provide expertise to move our work beyond a focus on the successes of individual programmes, towards ensuring that all the charity’s activities are anchored in our strategic objectives and informed by evidence, data and insights.

Reporting to the CEO, this role will set us up to learn from all aspects of our work, amplify those insights and ensure that we are equipped to grow the evidence base for the difference we can make to creating a world free from child sexual abuse.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on talented Research & Impact Director or someone who has managed a large team in the area of research, data and impact and is ready to step up to their first Director role. We would also consider applicants with a clinical background who wish to maintain their clinical practice whilst carrying out this important role for the charity.

This is a critical new role for the charity and the successful candidate will be responsible for building our research, evaluation and impact function, having the proven experience to bring strong analytical, reporting and stakeholder management skills to provide robust evaluations and strategic recommendations related to our work to internal and external audiences.

What you’ll get from us

We offer hybrid working, with a minimum of 2 days working from the office, free parking, a NEST pension, 25 days annual leave rising to 30 days (plus statutory bank holidays) after 5 years’ service (in line with our leave year January-December), up to 5 days learning and development per year, an employee assistance programme and the option of Benenden medical cover.

How to apply

An application form and equal ops form are including in this pack. We look forward to receiving your completed documents by midday 9th September 2024. Please send your completed application by email via the button below. Interviews will take place on 24th September. If you have not been contacted within 2 weeks of the closing date you have been unsuccessful with your application.

Please note the successful candidate will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check for this position.

We believe in creating a positive environment where our differences are respected and each of us feels valued for our contribution. Treating people fairly is part of our values and at the core of our culture. As an inclusive employer, all qualified candidates will be considered regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or belief, age, socioeconomic background, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity and caring responsibilities, marital status, nationality and disability including invisible disabilities and neurodiversity.
