About The Health Foundation

Health is our most precious asset. Good health enables us to live happy, fulfilling lives, fuels our prosperity and helps build a stronger society. Yet good health remains out of reach for too many people in the UK, and health and care services are struggling to provide access to timely, high-quality care.

The Health Foundation is an independent charitable organisation with a mission to build a healthier UK. We work to achieve this by generating high quality research and analysis; developing practical solutions to the biggest problems in health and health services; engaging, convening and building coalitions to build understanding, inform debate and drive action; and developing the long-term capability needed to transform health and care.

About The Role

We have vacancies for two Senior Analytical Manager roles in the Analysis and Evaluation team. One postholder will provide specialist expertise in causal evaluation and lead evaluation-focused work, while the other will be a senior analytical lead, overseeing projects that draw on a range of analytical approaches and methods.

Responsibilities

• Work with senior colleagues across the Analysis directorate, the wider Foundation and external collaborators to develop an impactful, rigorous and respected programme of innovative analytical research that helps the Health Foundation’s strategic programmes achieve their objectives.
• Lead a team of analysts, ensuring that the team is well led and motivated, shares learning across projects, and is supported and receives appropriate learning and development opportunities.
• Provide direction and day-to-day oversight of a varied analytical work programme. This includes ensuring projects are delivered on time and managing budgets for the work programme where appropriate. This programme should include responsive, medium, and longer-term work to deliver timely, policy relevant insight that contributes to the Foundation’s pillars and strategic priorities.
• Have responsibility for analytical research conducted across the team, including for ensuring it is independent, rigorous and delivered to high-quality standards.
• Work with colleagues to communicate analytical research to a wide range of stakeholders to achieve impact through Health Foundation briefings, long reads, peer reviewed journals, at conferences and through other media as relevant.
• Build and maintain a professional network with colleagues across analytical and data science communities in government departments, national arm’s length bodies and agencies, academia, and across civil society.
