Member Records Manager Jobs

We’re looking for a Data Officer to join our growing Young Sounds team. You will fulfil an important cross-organisational role, working closely with the team to collate and analyse the data collected through all our programmes.

About Young Sounds UK

Young Sounds exists because musical talent is everywhere but opportunity isn’t: family finances and other obstacles too often get in the way. We’re here to change this in two key ways:

• We support young musicians from low-income families with funding and other help;

• We support music education through training, advocacy and research.

We became an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation in April 2023 and also joined an expanded cohort of National Youth Music Organisations (NYMOs). We currently support around 900 individual young people across the UK every year and demand for our support is increasing. It’s an exciting time to join a pioneering organisation at the forefront of British music education.

The role

The Data Officer will fulfil an important cross-organisational role, working closely with the team to collate and analyse the data collected through all our programmes. Young Sounds is a reflective organisation. We’ve always invested time and effort in seeking out, understanding and demonstrating the difference our programmes are making. We believe in learning from experience. This is what we mean by evaluation.

Since 2023 we have committed to evaluating all three of our main programmes, each of which tackles a key barrier to young people’s musical progression. Each quarter we review our progress against both our Arts Council England Activity Plan (where measures of success are agreed annually) and the actions we’ve set for each year against each of Arts Council England’s four Investment Principles. We believe that data plays an integral part in telling the story of our work, and we regularly draw upon the information collated through evaluation to update our wider funding base (e.g. Trusts and Foundations) on the work we are doing. The Data Officer will work with the External Evaluator to enable us to report effectively and accurately on our progress to all our funders.

Working relationships

The Role

SafeLives has an unparalleled track record of using evidence and research to effect national change, with research and analysis being fundamental to helping SafeLives achieve its strategy. This information is used to set our policy messages, define our strategy, design our services and evidence the impact of the work we have done.

In April 2021, the Domestic Abuse Act received Royal Assent. The Act introduces a new civil Domestic Abuse Protection Notice (DAPN) to provide immediate protection following a domestic abuse incident and a new civil Domestic Abuse Protection Order (DAPO) to provide flexible, longer-term protection for victims. DAPOs can impose both prohibitions and positive requirements on perpetrators. Positive requirements can be in the form of interventions aimed at reducing and managing risk, meeting the needs of an individual (for the factors that are not the causation of abuse but impact on risk, e.g. mental ill health and substance misuse) and behaviour change interventions.

The Drive Partnership has been commissioned by the Home Office to design a triage model that will assess individuals for the suitability of these interventions; this triage model will be rolled out in the pilot sites, which are going live in May 2024, and will be tested and evaluated in order to prepare for national roll out in 2026.

The Research Analyst will be responsible for working with and supporting the Senior Research Analyst and Research Managers to develop and deliver rigorous and sector-leading data, analysis and recommendations across our work alongside the Drive Partnership.

This role is an exciting opportunity to help transform the response to domestic abuse by ensuring the sector is evidence-led. SafeLives holds the largest datasets on victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse nationally, which you will use to inform our ambitious policy and research agenda. Working alongside our practice experts, survivors of abuse, and our expert research team, you will help to answer important questions about what works in ending domestic abuse.

We need an enthusiastic, innovative and capable individual with the excellent technical ability to keep our unique sector-leading evidence base relevant and informative to all our users: local service providers, commissioners and national government. The evidence you produce will inform and influence national policymakers, funders and stakeholders to improve the response for families living with domestic abuse.

Benefits

• 34 days’ holiday, including public holidays
• Eyecare vouchers
• Employee assistance programme
• Enhanced family leave policies
• Individual learning budget
• Flexible working, e.g. compressed hours
• Pension scheme with 4% employer contribution
• Clinical supervision
• Enhanced sick pay
• Restorative practice training
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• Childcare vouchers
• Holiday purchase scheme to buy up to an additional 5 days
• Professional development fund
• Time off in lieu

If this challenge sounds as exciting to you as it does to us and you believe you have the qualities we have described, please take a look over the job description and submit a 500-word cover letter and CV.

Closing date: 9.00 am on Tuesday 3rd September 2024.

SafeLives is a committed provider of equal opportunities for all; please see our job description for full details.

No agencies, please.
