The Director of Data and Analytics will be a critical driver in the Centre for Homelessness Impact's mission to end homelessness for good. By leading and developing our data strategy, infrastructure, and capabilities, you will unlock the power of data to inform a decisive shift towards prevention. This role will involve working with partners to harness data from across sectors – housing, social care, health, education, and more – to generate insights that drive evidence-based decision-making, illuminate cost-effective solutions, and fuel innovation in preventing homelessness. You will be part of the leadership team, working with researchers, and programme leads across the organisation to ensure data is at the heart of achieving our mission.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead the Data Strategy: Develop and implement a comprehensive data strategy aligned with the Centre's strategic priorities, including expanding access to evidence and data, fueling collaboration, and enabling lasting change through R&D and through Test & Learn programmes.

• Drive Data Analysis and Insights: While you will have direct line management responsibility for an evidence and data lead, with additional support from external associate data analysts as needed, you will also be a hands-on leader, conducting data analysis yourself. You will generate actionable insights and develop data-driven solutions to address homelessness by examining data from various sources, including housing, social care, health, and education, to identify trends, risk factors, and opportunities for cost-effective prevention. You will also collaborate with other colleagues within the Centre for specific projects and initiatives.

• Foster collaboration and knowledge sharing: Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders across relevant sectors, including researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, to share data, insights, and best practices to advance the field. This will involve building partnerships with organisations and agencies beyond the traditional homelessness sector to access and analyse relevant data, including cost and effectiveness data.

WHO YOU ARE

• A data expert: You have a PhD in a relevant discipline including statistics; econometrics; or data science; or relevant work experience in lieu of a PhD. 
• A collaborative leader: You have experience of working collaboratively with a range of partners including in government or local government on data analysis
• A great manager: You have led and built high performing data analysis teams. Experience working in a fast paced working environment and delivering on projects with tight turnaround times.
• A strategic thinker: You can translate complex data and analytical insights into actionable strategies to address homelessness and its root causes, with a keen understanding of how to identify and evaluate cost-effective solutions. You can connect data-driven insights to broader organisational goals and strategic priorities.
• An effective communicator: You can clearly and persuasively communicate data-driven insights, including complex analytical findings and financial analyses, to various audiences, from policymakers to practitioners. You can tailor your communication style to different audiences and effectively convey the value of data and analytics.
• Desirable: An understanding of the homelessness sector and its data.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

As the Centre for Homelessness Impact embarks on its next chapter with an even greater focus on prevention and cost-effectiveness, this role is critical. You will lead the way in using data to drive evidence-based decision-making, innovation, and systemic change, with a particular emphasis on achieving the 'prevention turn' to address the root causes of homelessness in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. You will work in close partnership with the Director of Evidence to ensure that data and research are seamlessly integrated to drive impactful change in homelessness and related fields.

Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia: a progressive and complex condition that can be devastating for the whole family. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime, either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join Dementia UK in a newly created, high-impact role as Head of Facilities, where you will lead the strategic and operational management of our working environments and help shape the future of how we work.

You will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of building maintenance, security, contract management, health and safety, and office services - ensuring our facilities are safe, sustainable, and support a high-performing, inclusive workforce. Based at our central office in One Aldgate, you’ll ensure the building runs smoothly, efficiently, and in line with the evolving needs of a growing charity.

This role also extends beyond the office walls. You will ensure our home-based and hybrid staff have the right support, including conducting Display Screen Equipment (DSE) assessments, and working closely with IT and HR to provide appropriate equipment and guidance for safe and effective remote working.

You’ll manage the facilities budget, drive cost efficiencies, monitor utility usage, and identify opportunities to improve environmental sustainability. You’ll also lead and develop a small but dedicated Facilities Team, fostering a culture of service excellence and continuous improvement.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• Significant experience leading a Facilities Management function in a comparable setting
• Strong working knowledge of health and safety legislation and experience managing compliance, audits, and risk assessments
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach to building maintenance, security, office operations, and supplier management
• The ability to develop and implement practical and strategic facilities plans to support a dynamic, growing organisation
• A collaborative leadership style with a commitment to staff wellbeing, accessibility, and inclusivity

This is your chance to make a meaningful difference. You’ll play a vital role in supporting our people, infrastructure, and culture - enabling us to deliver more for families facing dementia.

Our culture

In addition to a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. It’s important for us to create a working environment that looks after our workforce to support them in achieving their full potential. You will become part of a diverse and dedicated team who are supported to use and develop their skills. We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia.

Our staff have a voice. Representatives from different roles and levels across the organisation positively contribute to and lead on our working groups around health and wellbeing, menopause, and equity, diversity and inclusion.

Dementia UK is proud to welcome everyone. We aim for a truly inclusive culture with talented, diverse teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We celebrate difference and individuality and encourage everyone to join us and be their whole selves always.

By applying to join Dementia UK, you acknowledge that in the event you are successful for the role, any offer and your ongoing employment will be conditional on you having or obtaining the right to work in the UK.
