The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences – is seeking a Monitoring & Evaluation Officer to join its newly established Monitoring & Evaluation team based in the Research Directorate, providing key support in the delivery of the Academy’s strategy.
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.

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.

Are you looking for a pivotal role which will shape the future of a national charity working on a key social justice challenge? Are you excited to tackle a key post targeted at raising awareness of the charity’s work and bringing critical supporters and stakeholders on board? Are you an experienced communications professional who wants to use your talents to improve the lives of people across the UK? If so, then we’d love to hear from you.
As we embark on our new five-year strategy, The Hygiene Bank would like to hear from talented communicators who would like to use their skills to further the mission of this exciting anti-poverty charity.
About The Hygiene Bank
Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford many of the everyday hygiene and personal grooming products most of us take for granted. The reality of low income is that it restricts people’s options, leaving us caught between being able to heat our homes, pay the rent, eat, or be clean. It is washing hair, bodies, faces and clothes in the same cheap washing-up liquid used for the dishes. It is not being able to replace a toothbrush when needed or sharing a toothbrush because one each just isn't an option. It is having to choose between shaving foam and razors or the transport fare to a job interview.
Hygiene Poverty is the hidden crisis facing the UK. Earlier this year, The Hygiene Bank published a research report into the incidence and impact of hygiene poverty. It found that over 4.2m adults in the UK are affected by hygiene poverty, that is an additional 1.1m people into hygiene poverty since 2022 - the equivalent of the population of Birmingham.
With hygiene poverty on the rise, it is also undermining the nation’s health: 50% of those affected by hygiene poverty say that it is causing them anxiety or depression. 92% of people affected report that it limits their social interactions with friends and family. 54% of those affected have not gone to the dentist in the last 12 months. But most importantly, it’s putting people in impossible situations. A staggering 69% of adults experiencing hygiene poverty are having to make the difficult decision between paying for essential needs like food and bills or purchasing basic toiletries. 65% of parents affected by hygiene poverty have had to choose between buying hygiene products for themselves or their children.
At The Hygiene Bank, we believe that everyone deserves to feel clean. That is why our network of projects exists – to give people access to the basics they need.

The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences - is seeking an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Manager to join our Governance & Fellowship Office, providing key support in the delivery of the Academy’s overall EDI ambitions across all aspects of its work.
The Role
Working closely with the Academy’s senior management and workstream leads within other teams, you will oversee the delivery of the Academy’s ambitious EDI activity and strategy. With experience of supporting and delivering EDI initiatives in similar contexts (HE, research funding, fellowship bodies or the charity sector), you will be responsible for both overseeing current and ongoing EDI activity, as well as initiating new areas of work as needed.
You will need excellent communication skills, to be able to liaise and report internally across all levels but also to provide high-quality external communications and act as an ambassador for the Academy and its work.
You will have up-to-date knowledge of the statutory and best-practice contexts of EDI matters and be able to bring these to inform the Academy’s activity, acting as both internal adviser across Teams and the Fellowship and an ally for staff, researchers and the audiences we serve. You will have an understanding of the specific EDI challenges within the UK HE funding and research sector, and work closely with internal and external partners to develop responses and new initiatives. You will have the opportunity to design and deliver new EDI initiatives, but also to influence our governance and accountability processes to ensure EDI outcomes are measurable and effective. You will play a key role in implementing the Academy’s cross-cutting EDI strategy, and ensuring this is evidence-based and supports our role as a key player in the UK HE and Research landscape.
This post sits within the Governance and Fellowship Office and reports directly to the Head of Fellowship Engagement & Governance. This Team supports the Chief Executive and the President of the British Academy, as well as its executive and strategic committees (Council and Senior Management Team). The Office also provides core Fellowship support, including their biannual meetings, nomination and election processes and a number of Fellowship engagement activities. This means that not only will your EDI activity be embedded across the main governance functions of the Academy, but you will also have the opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders and decision makers across all of our work.
