About the Opportunity
The Department of Social Policy & Intervention is looking to appoint an experienced Data Manager to work on our flagship Global Parenting Initiative (GPI). The GPI is a multi-million-pound five-year project with a vision that is bold, ambitious, and immediate: to provide access to free, evidence-based, playful parenting support to every parent, everywhere, so that they are equipped with the knowledge and tools to help their children realise their learning potential.
The Data Manager role holds a core supportive position within the GPI initiative and provides an exciting opportunity to work with a dynamic, international team, dedicated to improving the lives of children across the globe.

The role will involve maintaining data collection systems, creation of data collection tools (Open Data Kit) and managing ethical and data security compliance. The role may also require the development of data management plans. Funds supporting this project are provided by the LEGO Foundation.
The Department is committed to fostering an environment of equality, diversity, and inclusion. Our family-friendly ethos allows for hours to be worked flexibly to complement caring responsibilities.
Applications are particularly welcome from ethnic minority candidates.
