Job Board

 

At User Voice we build the structures that enable productive collaboration between service users and service providers. We are able to do this because our work is led and delivered by ex-offenders. This gives us the special ability to gain the trust of, access to, and insight from people within the criminal justice system.

We are seeking to recruit a Research and Evaluation Team Member to support the monitoring and evaluation of User Voice’s core projects, and carry out bespoke qualitative and quantitative research projects.

The successful candidate will have a strong and demonstrable commitment to social research, be highly organised and proficient in the use of IT.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and articulate Policy Officer to join the Foundation and help shape policing policy. Working closely with the Foundation’s Director and the Research Director, you will be responsible for engaging with key decision makers (in the police service and government), responding to consultations, organising and managing a programme of policing policy events and developing and managing research projects on policing policy.

The ideal candidate will have an undergraduate degree (preferably in the social sciences), proven qualitative or quantitative research skills, excellent knowledge of policing and/or the criminal justice system, an understanding of government, and how to effect change in policy making, and the ability to network effectively with relevant practitioners.

After PAS’ judicial review victory at the court of appeal it is an especially exciting time to join our Trustees and complement its small but highly motivated Management Committee where an effective commitment to ‘justice behind bars’ is the shared value.

As a Trustee, you will contribute to the strategic governance of the organisation and the setting and monitoring of overall policy; refine strategic priorities; agree targets and budgets; evaluate organisational performance and help the organisation fundraise. Meetings take place quarterly in central London in the evening, with additional attendance requested at the Strategic Day and PAS’s Annual Lecture and debates.
