A little bit about the role
Please note that applications for this role will close on Monday 25 November at 9am.
The Evaluation Team work to enhance a data-driven culture at Frontline, where evidence is at the centre of decision making. At Frontline, evaluation aids learning and improvement of our programmes, to ensure we create social change for vulnerable children and families and demonstrate our impact.
Evaluation Officers primarily focus on the second phase of our evaluation strategy, practice and implemented learning. They support the Evaluation Manager in the analysis and presentation of data and share findings to internal and external audiences. They will also advocate for and support teams to ensure that data collection, analysis and reporting is of a high quality across the organisation.
We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic about data and how it can be used to further understand and improve quality and demonstrate impact. We will encourage you to learn and grow in this role and you will have access to training and support to further develop your knowledge and skills.
Some key responsibilities include:
- Support with setting up data collection tools and reporting for new programmes
- Improve insight into our existing programmes through quantitative and qualitative analysis
- Promote the use of data across the organisation
- Work closely with other teams to support with access to data, understand any new evaluation needs and advise on or provide data solutions.
A little bit about you
The successful applicant for this role will be used to working with data, with high-level analytical ability, attention to detail and Microsoft Excel skills. The Evaluation Officer role will suit someone who wants to support others with data and analysis, and so will build excellent relationships, and can be supportive to those who are non-experts.
We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works. You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn. There are lots of opportunities for growth and development in this role – and for the right candidate to make the role their own.
If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you.
Important information
We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value racialised minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.
We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.
We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!
You will need to have current right-to-work in the UK prior to application and for at least the first six months (for permanent positions) or for the full duration of the contract (for fixed-term positions). Visa sponsorship is not guaranteed.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

The UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) is seeking a skilled and inspirational CEO to lead our charity through the next stage of its development and the continued delivery of our core mission of improving the lives and wellbeing of men (and women) through the Men’s Shed movement across the UK.
We are looking for a Chief Executive with the energy, vision and experience to take on the strategic leadership and direction of our well-respected and fast-growing national charity, which brings tangible benefits to men’s health, mental health and suicide prevention across the UK. Our strategy is one of ambitious targets to support the expansion, reach, diversity and sustainability of the Men’s Shed movement, in line with our vision of happier and healthier men by virtue of reduced loneliness, anxiety and depression, improved wellbeing, and saved lives.
Our new CEO will be a proven and exemplary strategic leader, who will head our mission, guide the team, represent our charity with partners, funders and politicians, and support the Shed Movement we exist to serve. Your track record of inspirational leadership and excellent communications skills will be a key part of building and diversifying our funding (including developing sustainable income growth strategies and bringing in commercial sponsorship), broadening and deepening our partnerships and our relationships with government, and driving our future success. Your experience in executive leadership in the nonprofit sectors will ensure the good management and statutory compliance of UKMSA. We recognise that you may not have a background in the Men’s Shed movement, but your strong emotional intelligence will enable you to quickly develop a good understanding of the community we serve.
Key Skills
• Leadership – the ability to motivate, develop, and deliver through a team of staff and volunteers such that the organisation meets its goals.

As UKMSA’s public face, the CEO must also be adept at showcasing our work, including in the media and to parliamentary and other government bodies.
• Financial Acumen – the CEO will be expected to operate the budget and develop our new strategy for ensuring sustainable income, actively leading the development of corporate sponsorships and other significant income streams.
• Flexibility & Adaptability – the new CEO will be expected to learn about the world of Men’s Sheds quickly, to be able confidently to represent UKMSA and to build strong relationships within the Men’s Shed community (both within the UK and internationally). And as we only have a staff team of 13 (geographically dispersed), it is expected that the CEO will actively engage in some of the more tactical work, including being ‘hands on’ at events.
