About Police Care UK Police Care UK is the national, independent charity supporting serving and veteran members of the police community, and their families, when they've been physically or psychologically harmed through policing. Demand for our services has grown by more than 400% in the last decade. This reflects the increasing impact of trauma in modern policing - from major incidents and serious violence to cumulative and vicarious trauma. We understand that harm doesn't end with a shift, and that families are often affected too. We've evolved from a traditional benevolent fund into a sector-leading organisation delivering evidence-informed support, trauma-focused recovery services and practical prevention programmes across UK policing. Our work is grounded in compassion, clarity and evidence, and we're fiercely independent so we can focus on what people really need. Our vision is simple: a future where every member of the police community has access to the care and support they need, and nobody faces the impact of harm alone. Based in Woking and working nationally, we're committed to strengthening the people behind the force - and we're looking for those who want to be a part of that work. Role Purpose Reporting to the Director of Development and working closely with the Executive Leadership Team, the Head of Insight and Innovation will lead the Charity's research, data, evaluation and innovation functions. This is a strategic leadership role responsible for embedding a culture of evidence-informed practice, continuous improvement and sector-leading innovation across the Charity. The postholder will ensure that our insight drives decision-making, strengthens fundraising, informs service design and positions Police Care UK as a thought leader within the policing and blue light sectors.

Translate research findings into actionable recommendations that strengthen our services, policy influence and fundraising. Ensure our understanding of unmet need across the policing family remains current and robust. Data, CRM and Impact Intelligence Lead the strategic development of our CRM and data systems. Embed strong KPI frameworks, dashboards and impact reporting across the charity. Ensure high standards of data governance, integrity and compliance. Innovation and Service Development Lead our innovation pipeline, from discovery and prototyping to pilot evaluation and scaling. Embed co-production with beneficiaries and policing partners. Develop business cases and secure funding for new initiatives. Monitoring, Evaluation and Impact Oversee our success measurement framework and ensure outcomes are evidenced and clearly articulated. Produce high-value insight for funders, trustees and external stakeholders. Governance and External Representation Provide high-quality insight and reporting to the Board of Trustees. Represent the charity externally across academic, sector and policy forums. Uphold the highest standards of safeguarding, ethics and data protection. Person Specification Essential Degree-level education and ongoing professional development. Significant senior experience in research, insight, evaluation or organisational development.
