Junior Impact Analyst

About The Role

What if your analytical skills could help Alzheimer’s Society understand the difference our work makes?

As our Junior Impact Analyst, you’ll use data and insight to help us understand our impact and improve what we do for people affected by dementia. You’ll work across the span of the Society’s work, including Services, Influencing and Campaigning, and Research. You’ll help us understand change at different levels, from individuals, families and communities through to local and national systems.

You’ll join our Impact & Evaluation Team and work alongside experienced Impact Analysts and colleagues across the Society. You’ll contribute to larger projects and lead on smaller pieces of work, with guidance and support as you develop your skills.

A key focus of the role will be supporting our work on Social Outcomes Contracts. This will include monitoring agreed reporting measures, bringing together data from delivery partners and health systems, and analysing whether services are contributing to outcomes such as fewer avoidable hospital admissions or reduced pressure on health and care services. You won’t need to be an expert in Social Outcomes Contracts, but you should have an awareness of how outcomes and impact evidence can be used to show how services are making a difference for individuals and systems.

You’ll work with both quantitative and qualitative data. You’ll help turn information into clear insights that people can use to learn, plan and make decisions.

Your work could include developing and testing surveys and other data collection tools. You might explore internal and external data to understand outcomes and impact. You’ll also create reports, presentations and visualisations that make findings accessible to different audiences.

Could this be the opportunity to develop your analytical skills while helping us understand the difference we make?

Contract: This is a 2-year fixed term contract

Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 2nd and 3rd December via MS Teams.

What you’ll do

You’ll work across a varied range of impact and evaluation activity. You’ll:

• Support the development and use of impact measurement frameworks, tools and approaches.
• Support monitoring, analysis and reporting for our Social Outcomes Contracts work
• Help design and test surveys, questionnaires and other data collection tools.
• Gather, analyse and interpret quantitative and qualitative data from internal and external sources.
• Explore data to understand reach, experiences, outcomes and impact across different communities and groups.
• Create clear reports, presentations, dashboards and data visualisations for different audiences.
• Support colleagues to use impact measurement approaches through practical guidance and resources.
• Manage smaller pieces of work and contribute to larger projects, keeping activity organised and on track.
• Share learning and ideas with colleagues to help improve how we measure and use evidence across the Society.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work with colleagues and people affected by dementia. You’ll help make sure our approach to impact measurement is practical, proportionate and inclusive.

About you

Are you curious about data and interested in understanding the difference organisations can make?

You’ll have some experience of monitoring, outcomes &impact measurement or related analytical activity. You’ll be interested in using evidence to understand what is working and where things could be improved.

Do you enjoy finding the story behind the data and making your findings easy for others to understand? Do you enjoy looking at data and asking, “What does this tell us?”

You’ll be comfortable working with quantitative and/or qualitative data and communicating what you find. You’ll also understand how outcomes and impact measurement can support learning and better decision-making.

You might be a great fit for this role if you:

• Can analyse quantitative and/or qualitative data and communicate your findings clearly.
• Understand outcomes and impact measurement and how evidence can support learning and decision-making.

About Alzheimer's Society

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply. Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via careers@alzheimers.org.uk for application support or any adjustments you might need.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

Giving back to you

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.
