About their organisation
Our client is an independent charitable foundation. They want everyone to be in a good place personally, in a home that s a good place to live, and in a community that s a good place to belong.
They play their role by connecting and catalysing community-led change, providing the money, time, tools and connections that build organisations capacity and capability, to make people s lives better and their communities stronger.
They back people and communities across England and Wales, to make that happen, because when you back brilliant people, brilliant things happen. Their communities are full of ambitious, energetic and determined people stepping up to make their neighbours lives better and their communities grow stronger. Day in, day out.
About the Role
This is a key role at the heart of their ambition to become even more impact-led and evidence-driven. As Research and Evaluation Manager, you will play a vital role in ensuring their programmes, partnerships and investments are grounded in robust evidence and a clear understanding of what works, why it works, and how they can increase their impact.
You will lead the design and delivery of research, evaluation and learning activity across the organisation, working closely with teams to ensure programmes are built around clear outcomes and that insight is used to inform decisions, improve delivery and strengthen impact.
This is both a technical and collaborative role. You will manage and commission evaluation activity, while also working alongside colleagues across the organisation to embed a stronger culture of learning, evidence and continuous improvement.
About You
They are looking for a skilled research and evaluation professional with experience of designing, commissioning and delivering high-quality evaluation activity. You will be confident working with data, evidence and insight to inform decision-making and improve programmes or services.
You will bring strong analytical skills, alongside the ability to translate complex information into clear, practical recommendations. You will be comfortable managing external partners and contracts, and confident supporting others to embed evidence and learning into their work.
Above all, you will be collaborative, curious and committed to using evidence to improve outcomes for communities. A commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging is essential.

They hold Disability Confident Employer status (Level 2) and are working towards full status by 2027. This means that if you're a disabled applicant and your CV and application answers clearly demonstrate that you meet the essential criteria for the role, we will invite you to interview.
More broadly, they are committed to building a diverse team that reflects the communities and people they work with. They believe that diversity of background, experience and perspective makes them stronger and helps them make better decisions. They actively welcome applications from people who are under-represented in the charity sector, including people from Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic communities, disabled people, and those with experience of the issues their funded charities work to address.
