CENTRE FOR AGEING BETTER
Research and Evaluation Manager (50+ Employment)
- Fixed term 18 months
- Salary £47,336 per annum
- This is a Full Time post. However, we will consider applications from people looking to work 2-3 days a week if they are willing to job share.
- Flexible working options will be supported: such as condensed hours (eg. 9-day fortnight)
- Hybrid Working. You will be expected to spend at least 6 days a month in our Central London Office.
We offer a pension scheme with employer contribution up to 10%, in addition you’ll receive 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, 24-hour access to a comprehensive employee assistance programme, cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan scheme and other benefits.
About the role
Do you want to use research and evaluation to make the UK labour market fairer for all of us? Do you want to make sure no one is shut out of work due to their age? Do you want a job where you get to work with contractors and internal colleagues to deliver research projects?
We are looking for a Research and Evaluation Manager to join the Work Action Area team at the Centre for Ageing Better.
We are a friendly, passionate, multi-disciplinary team of 11 people working to create fair access to work for people in their 50s and 60s. We run the Age-friendly Employer Pledge, pilot projects to test out new models of employment support and undertake high-level policy analysis and influencing.
The Research and Evaluation Manager is core to this work. You will be the research lead in the team – managing the research and evaluation activity that generates the strong evidence base we are known for.
About you
We would like someone who has been involved in the nitty gritty of evaluation research, balancing an interest in the technical sides of answering evaluation questions with an awareness of the practical challenges of doing so. It would be great if you had experience on the research commissioning side, but you could still have the right skills if you have only worked within a contracted research team.
We would like you to have good experience of qualitative research and secondary research. You need to be comfortable with numbers and basic data analysis, but you don’t need to be a quantitative specialist (as we have one of those).
We want you to have some experience working on policy-oriented research and developing policy recommendations. You need to be motivated by change, as well as understanding the problem. You will be a line manager in this role. Line management experience is a desirable attribute – but it is essential you can demonstrate that you have supported other people to deliver their work.

The New Wine Strategic Director will play a pivotal leadership role, working closely with New Wine’s National Leader, Rich Johnson, to advance New Wine’s mission of empowering local churches to drive national change. This full-time, hybrid role emphasises supporting three core priorities: equipping church leaders in Holy Spirit ministry, fostering church multiplication, and strengthening ministries for younger generations. The Strategic Director will collaborate with the Operations Director to shape New Wine’s leadership structure, manage the Heads of key initiatives, and contribute to high-profile events like the annual Leadership Conference and Summer Festival.
This position calls for a seasoned Christian leader with a proven track record in strategic oversight, effective team-building, and an understanding of apostolic leadership principles.

By investing in leaders, New Wine seeks to inspire transformative, Spirit-led leadership across its network of churches.
-
Empowering Younger Generations: Recognising the urgent need to reach children, youth, and young adults, New Wine is dedicated to investing deeply in ministries that engage these age groups.

Multiplying Churches: New Wine envisions every church in its family, planting and nurturing a new congregation, driving growth and expanding the church’s impact. This commitment to multiplication aims to see the gospel reach new communities, fostering vibrant, missional church plants that engage people where they are.

A core focus will be building a cohesive, effective leadership team that operates with clarity, unity, and purpose. This includes fostering a healthy team culture informed by understanding past dynamics and creating an environment where leaders can thrive. The SD will also represent New Wine’s senior leadership at major events and in various contexts, embodying the organisation’s values and vision.
