About The Employer

Our client is a federated charity consisting of a central national office and over 170 geographically dispersed local organisations, all working together under the same identity.

The organisation recognises that being a parent has never been easy. Every volunteer is trained to work alongside parents to overcome the challenges they are facing. The organisation works with parents to build on their strengths and give them the support that they tell them they need. They offer no judgement - just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. This peer-to-peer support is key to the difference the organisation makes and often their volunteers have lived experience of the challenges their families are facing themselves.

About The Role

Head of Insight and Impact is an exciting new leadership role for this charity at a critical time as they develop and prepare to launch their new, federation-wide strategy in early 2027. You will ensure that they make best use of the data and evidence that they already hold and build the insight-led culture they need to deliver their mission.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

• Lead the development of a shared, federation-wide approach to impact measurement, transforming how this organisation understands, evidences and communicates the difference that this charity makes to babies, children and families.
• Develop and embed data systems, tools and capabilities at this organisation and across its federation of aligned charities, aligning with and enabling delivery of our new strategy.
• Design and lead a consistent approach to monitoring and evaluating the support provided by this organisation to their federation, ensuring outcomes and learning are captured and shared.
• Lead this organisation's Impact Team and work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation and with locally federated teams, leveraging collective skills and expertise.
• In this busy and varied role, you will put insight and impact at the heart of the charity's work. In a typical day you could be working with the data analyst to visualise and present the results of the latest National Data Return to the Executive Leadership Team, running a feedback session with locally federated teams piloting new outcome measures, and/or ensuring colleagues in the Fundraising Team have the insight they need for proposal development.

Ultimately, your efforts will help ensure that this charitable movement can reach and support more families with babies and children facing their toughest times.

The people at the organisation are its most important resource. The employer has been accredited with Investors in People since March 2005, which recognises the commitment they give to developing their staff.
