• Experience of writing successful bids and tenders

The organisation works with organisations across the adults and children’s social care, health and criminal justice sectors, supporting them to develop an evidence-informed approach to their work. This role is focused on their work with Adults. Their focus is on using evidence from research, practice and lived experience, to provide resources that improve policy and services, in order to achieve positive outcomes for people of all ages.

For more than 60 years, the organisation has championed the rights and amplified the voice of children and young people in the UK. They interrogate policy and uncover evidence, blending in lived and learnt experience to shape future legislation and develop more effective ways of supporting children and families. Bringing people and organisations together is fundamental to how they improve the systems that babies, children, young people and their families rely on to thrive.

They are united for better childhoods and brighter futures.
