About the position
The Monitoring & Research Officer is an exciting role for a professional looking to apply their strong project management and analytical skills to tackle the issue of modern slavery. The successful candidate will work as an integral member of the Research & Evaluation team to lead six-monthly impact reporting as well as support research and evaluation projects around the world.
This post will report to the Senior Research & Evaluation Manager and work closely with Freedom Fund colleagues at all levels, as well as with civil society organisations in global locations with a high prevalence of modern slavery. Members of the Research & Evaluation team are currently located across Thailand, UK and the US. This post will require roughly one to two international trips per year.
Responsibilities
This role will have a dual remit, roughly half the time will be dedicated to leading the Freedom Fund’s monitoring function, and the other half supporting the team to ensure the smooth delivery of research and evaluation projects.
Deliver high-quality monitoring data to inform programmatic decisions
• Work independently to develop monitoring & evaluation (M&E) templates, guidelines and processes for the Freedom Fund's hotspot programs. Ensure these are context-specific while adhering to the Fund's global M&E framework and donor requirements.

Support accurate and timely reporting of programmatic impact by analysing data for trends and outliers. Draft reports for senior leadership, board members, and the Freedom Fund website.
• Lead initiatives to prevent and address data quality issues by working closely with Freedom Fund colleagues and NGO partners. Identify and resolve issues as they arise and conduct regular training sessions—online and in program locations—to enhance their understanding of M&E principles and improve overall data quality.
• Manage the work of external consultants to ensure timely and high-quality deliverables. Collaborate with M&E specialists hired by the Freedom Fund to provide hands-on support to colleagues and NGO partners working in slavery-affected communities.
Support research and evaluation projects
• Ensure research and evaluation reports are accessible and useful for target audiences. This includes writing plain-language summaries, creating data visualisations (graphs and infographics), checking translation quality, and presenting findings to FF colleagues to encourage the uptake of recommendations.
• Conduct evidence reviews by gathering, evaluating, and synthesising quantitative and qualitative data from various sources. Identify actionable insights and recommendations to enhance the effectiveness and impact of the Freedom Fund's programs.
• Identify and address gaps in project outputs to uphold the rigour of our research and evaluations. This includes reviewing and revising research protocols, consent forms, survey questionnaires and interview guides to reflect international standards as well as operational realities.
• Lead the transparent and effective use of charitable resources in research and evaluation projects. Ensure adherence to grant and contract management processes by Research & Evaluation team members and external partners, including preparing procurement documentation and performing initial sense-checks of budgets and financial reports.

Job Title: Associate (Paid Internship)
Contract Type: 3-month contract initially with strong potential for extension
Hours: Flexible (3 – 5 days a week)
Location: Street Child London HQ (minimum 3 days per week in the office and the remainder at home)
Pay: Appropriate National Minimum Wage
Street Child are delighted to launch the next round of our associate scheme, with placements available for outstanding, highly motivated individuals looking to launch, or progress, a career in the humanitarian/development sector. The Street Child Associate programme is a fantastic entry-level opportunity to gain a breadth of experience whilst making a serious contribution to one of the UK’s fastest growing international development organisations - at a crucial time.
This is not an internship where you ‘do the photocopying and make the tea’. You will be doing important, varied, hands-on work from day one. Moreover, Street Child has an unparalleled track-record of rewarding outstanding Associates with permanent positions in the UK team; and/or the opportunity to be seconded to one of our country programmes, for those considering a field-career in humanitarian/development.
Associates will have the opportunity to build skills and experience across a breadth of core fundraising disciplines, as well as excellent exposure to the broader programmatic work of the charity, with opportunities for engagement. Key duties may include: research; proposal drafting, design and writing; supporter engagement; participant support & management (for our events & sponsored challenges); data management and administration; communication support (including social media). Prior experience in any of these areas is not essential but would be beneficial. What is essential is demonstrating outstanding aptitude, passion, and the desire to make an impact and progress your personal development, fast. Training is provided.
This is a demanding role (lots of adverts say this, to be clear: here it is true) - and is suited to passionate, ambitious individuals who enjoy being busy, stretched and working hard (actually – again these are not just trite advert lines; this opportunity is only appropriate for those for whom this is accurate!).
Associate roles are paid at the appropriate National Minimum Wage rate and are initially expected to work 3 – 5 days a week during the first 3 months. This arrangement may be positively reviewed at the 3-month stage, especially in the case of excellent performance.
You would be primarily working from our Central London office.
Key requirements:
- Demonstrable passion for, and desire to build a career in, the international development/humanitarian sector;
- Excellent inter-personal and communication skills;
- Strong organisational abilities;
- Super flexible, willing attitude - will excel at frequently moving between different tasks, as business needs dictate.
- Strong academic results and qualifications (e.g. a relevant Masters) are naturally a significant advantage – but we will absolutely consider all engaging, passionate applications. Candidates who demonstrate superb writing abilities will be prioritised.
- Diversity is important to us at Street Child. We especially welcome applications from, and expect to offer associateships to candidates with backgrounds typically under-represented in the sector and/or reflecting the communities we seek to serve.
About Street Child:
Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic and structural issues that underpin today’s education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Ukraine. Since 2008 we have helped over 1,000,000 children to be safe, in school and learning.
