About the PKD Charity.
Founded in 2000, we’re the first and only UK charity solely dedicated to improving the lives of an estimated 70,000 individuals and their families affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in the UK.
PKD is a range of life-threatening inherited conditions that can cause kidney failure and affect other organs in the body such as the liver, brain, heart and bowels. Most people with PKD live with an uncertain prognosis, intermittent pain and infections, and then have to undergo life-saving dialysis or transplant in their 50s. A few babies have a rare form of PKD which results in death during pregnancy or shortly after birth; surviving children often have to have either a kidney or liver transplant before the age of 10.
We provide reliable, accredited information, advice and personalised support. We raise awareness of the burden of PKD, both clinical and psychosocial. We fund research aimed at understanding more about PKD and the discovery of therapies that will improve quality and longevity of life.
The Board of Trustees are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone and encourage applications from all sections of the community.

The Academy recently released its strategy for 2023–2027. Our three strategic priorities for this period are:
- Strengthening and championing the humanities and social sciences
- Mobilising our disciplines for the benefit of everyone
- Opening up the Academy
To support the success of these strategic priorities, the Academy established a new Monitoring & Evaluation team in 2023. The Academy recognises the growing importance of capturing, utilising, and visualising data effectively to ensure we can strongly advocate for SHAPE through appropriate monitoring and evaluation of the work we do and support.
You will play a key role in the new Monitoring & Evaluation team in supporting the development and implementation of a modern, streamlined approach to the way in which we monitor and evaluate our work, particularly with respect to the International Science Partnerships Fund. We are looking for dynamic individuals, either with experience in monitoring and evaluation or transferable skills from other roles, who are keen to be part of a new team and to be a part of the start of a new chapter at the Academy.
The role
The Monitoring & Evaluation Officer will be part of the Monitoring & Evaluation team, reporting to the Senior Data Analyst.
You will play a key role in advising on and delivering the monitoring and evaluation requirements of the Academy for their portfolio of funding under the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF). This includes developing streamlined data collection tools that minimise the burden on award holders and Academy staff whilst meeting stringent reporting requirements.
Other responsibilities include the analysis of data and statistics and their visual representation in reports and presentations for internal and external audiences, including funders, as well as identifying how reporting requirements or strategies developed for ISPF might support other British Academy teams and wider Monitoring and Evaluation requirements.
The role is positioned within the Monitoring & Evaluation team of the British Academy’s Research Directorate and works closely with colleagues in the International team, as well as members of the Policy Directorate and staff located in the Development and Communications Directorate.
About the Academy
The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences, established by Royal Charter in 1902. We mobilise these disciplines to understand the world and shape a brighter future. Today’s complex challenges can only be resolved by deepening our insight into people, culture, and societies. With a Fellowship of around 1,400 leading national and international academics, the Academy invests in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas, engages the public with fresh thinking and debates, and brings together scholars, government, business, and civil society to influence policy.
The Academy currently has five directorates: Communications & Marketing, Development, Policy, Research, and Resources, plus a small Governance & Fellowship Team. We have increased staffing in the last 12 months and expect to continue to grow this year.
Working at the Academy
Our senior management team has worked with staff to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and empathy in which all contributions are recognised as we work towards our common goals. Our people strategy and working practices focus on building strengths and sharing insights, with learning and development, wellbeing, and equality, diversity and inclusion at the centre of how we operate as an organisation. Investing in our staff and encouraging a healthy work/life balance is central to our success as we move forward and continue to grow.
Terms and conditions
The British Academy is based at 10–11, Carlton House Terrace, London SW1, a Grade 1 listed building.

Whether it’s donating to our cause or emailing local politicians, you’ll be the person who inspires people to take action on climate.
In our small comms team, there is a lot of crossover between roles, so you will also occasionally be asked to pitch into other functions across the team such as social media and press, and take joint responsibility for some of our administrative work. But don’t worry, we can train you up on this!

We usually work 9.30-5.30pm but staff can use flexitime to work the hours that work for them depending on the day, within reason i.e. 8-4pm or split shifts for the school run. Our all team meetings mostly run 10-1pm and smaller team meetings are usually in the afternoon.
About Possible
Our values Daring, Joy and Community guide our actions and our organisational culture. Here at Possible, we have a vision for a zero carbon Britain that has been built by and belongs to everybody. Our mission is to inspire people in the UK to take the action the climate crisis demands.
We create, build, and share ways people can take meaningful action on climate change together. We translate overwhelming climate urgency into socially just and workable proposals the public can get behind. And we do it all with a can-do attitude and stubborn optimism.
Commitment to anti-oppression
We have made a commitment to make Possible an anti-oppressive place to work. We’re doing the work to undo inequalities and oppressive systems reflected in wider society, and are an inclusive and welcoming group that wants our team mates and the communities we work with to be able to thrive.
We believe that our team and our projects should reflect the diversity of the communities they seek to serve. We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, disabled people, those who are neurodivergent, people who have experienced mental health challenges and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
