About the Youth Endowment Fund: We are here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice. The Research team is at the heart of YEF’s mission to understand what works and turn evidence into real-world impact. It combines rigorous research with a strong focus on producing clear, actionable insights that improve outcomes for children.
In this role, you will lead the development of two major Youth Justice guidance reports—one focused on frontline practice and one on system reform—drawing on extensive research to produce clear, evidence-based recommendations. Working closely with internal experts, external partners and the Ministry of Justice, you will help shape policy and practice across the sector and drive meaningful change.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development of Youth Justice guidance, producing practice and system reports that translate YEF-funded research into clear, evidence-based recommendations.
- Act as YEF’s Youth Justice expert, tracking key issues, synthesising emerging research, and supporting the publication of major reviews across the sector.
- Build and manage strategic relationships, working with the Ministry of Justice, expert panels, and sector partners, and representing YEF at external events.
- Turn evidence into practical tools and resources, collaborating with the Change Team to create accessible summaries and support the development of implementation tools such as self-assessments.
