About the role

As a Foundation we are committed to learning together with others and reflecting and acting on what we learn. We learn to improve our understanding about how to approach the complex issues we are trying to address, to examine how our funding relates to the social change we want to see, and to improve how we work and fund.

The Learning & Insight Officer will play a key part in delivering our learning, monitoring and research activities, and we want the successful candidate to be able to develop their skills and interest within the role. They will work closely with the Head of Learning & Insight, wider Grants team colleagues and others across the Foundation to gather insights from our grants and wider work. These insights will inform our strategic direction and contribute to wider sector learning and understanding.

As part of a small and collaborative team, the Learning & Insight Officer role is varied and will include supporting our learning activities (such as regular feedback surveys, internal reflection sessions with staff and trustees, and convening and peer-learning activities with the organisations we fund), analysing descriptive and numerical data, and sharing our learning in accessible and relevant ways. The candidate will join us at an exciting time as we embark on our 2025-2030 strategy, which includes an updated approach to how we learn.

Full details of the role can be found in the recruitment pack.

Power, Culture and Inclusion

As an organisation we are committed to shifting power in the systems that we are part of. Through a process of learning about anti-oppression, developing our values and behaviours, we want to build the best workplace.

Across all our recruitment we are working towards greater equity, diversity and inclusion and take this journey extremely seriously. Part of this journey is building a team that is diverse and representative, so whilst you will need the skills and experience described, we really want to hear from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. We particularly encourage people with lived experience of social welfare legal issues and where they intersect with structural racism and other forms of discrimination. However, there is no expectation for candidates to disclose details of personal experiences at any stage during this recruitment or during their work at the LEF.

We are happy to make adjustments to the application and interview process. Please contact Belinda Berry (belinda.berry@thelef.org or 02030055694).
