Join the movement
We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and are committed to celebrating and supporting diversity. We know we will thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products and services, and our community. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and particularly welcome applications from people with experiences of homelessness.
IN A NUTSHELL
The Centre for Homelessness Impact is searching for an Evidence Lead who will help to continue growing our Evidence work. The ideal candidate will be adept at uncovering insights from data and evidence, skilfully translating insights into simple, yet meaningful messages for policy, service design and innovation. This person will be comfortable with different evaluation methods (i.e. Randomised Controlled Trials, Quasi-experimental designs, Systematic Reviews) and how to adapt them to ensure research is robust and relevant for decision-makers.
The Evidence Lead will work in close collaboration with our Head of Evidence and Data to scope opportunities for our evidence and work and capitalise on opportunities for collaboration with other organisations in this space.
We are a small and focused team with great ambitions. We are looking for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit - a self-starter who gets excited by uncovering the insights and sees how they can be used to unlock new opportunities. We work with multiple partners on a variety of projects - so it is crucial that the Evidence Lead is capable to prioritise effectively and devote resources to the activities that are likely to generate the greatest impact.
WHY IS THIS ROLE IMPORTANT FOR THE CENTRE’S WORK?
At the Centre, we help people to harness the power of evidence and data to improve policies and interventions to support people experiencing homelessness.
You will help grow and shape the direction of our evidence work. Working under the oversight of the Head of Evidence and Data, you will help scope, oversee and run studies using different methodological approaches, guaranteeing methodological excellence and policy relevance, and pushing the boundaries for how we identify insights from research findings.
Most importantly, you will ensure those lessons are captured and fed into all the other streams of our work. Your skillset is critical to our work because you have the ability to both cultivate relationships with stakeholders and support the development of world-class researchers.

HOW TO APPLY
Apply on our dedicated website.
Our application system is designed to remove as much bias as possible from the recruitment process. This means that our hiring team does not know your name, your details or see your whole application in one go. If you are asked for your CV, they won’t see it until the interview stage.
Your answers are randomised and chunked up. This means that each assessor views sets of responses to questions. For example, they will review all candidates’ responses to the first question, rather than seeing all a candidate’s responses together.
