Public Health Research jobs in London

About this role

The Research and Learning Manager will lead Turn2us's research activity in complex and emerging areas including place-based approaches, co-production, stigma and systems change. Working within the Impact & Evaluation team, you will design and deliver high-quality research, develop learning approaches, and contribute expert input to Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) frameworks across the organisation. You will work closely with colleagues across Programmes, External Affairs, Digital and Data teams to ensure robust evidence informs decision-making, programme development and strategic priorities. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape Turn2us's understanding of what works to tackle financial insecurity and to influence both organisational learning and wider sector thinking.

About you

You will bring experience leading research and/or evaluation work in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and be comfortable working in areas where approaches are evolving or not fully defined. You will have strong qualitative or mixed-method research skills, excellent analytical thinking and experience turning evidence into practical recommendations, frameworks or approaches. We are particularly interested in candidates who can build strong relationships, influence thinking across teams, facilitate learning conversations and communicate complex ideas clearly. Knowledge of co-production, participatory approaches, place-based work or related fields would be particularly valuable, alongside an understanding of poverty and financial insecurity in the UK.
