Salary: Head of Storytelling & Impact £50,000; Research Analyst - £35,000
Length of Contract: Permanent
Job Details
Head of Storytelling & Impact
We are recruiting for a Head of Storytelling & Impact who will make sure our evidence reaches, and moves, the people who can act on it – policymakers, politicians, business leaders, journalists and the public. This role turns ILC’s research into stories and those stories into funding and impact.
No two weeks in this role look the same. One day you might be drafting a letter to persuade a government minister to champion prevention; the next, building the funder case for a piece of research that hasn’t been written yet, or turning a dense set of findings into a chart a journalist can’t ignore.
We want someone who thinks like a publisher and a marketer as much as a press officer – creative about how we tell our stories, alive to funding opportunities and unafraid to pick up the phone to a politician.
Research Analyst
We are also looking for a Research Analyst to help us deliver compelling thought leadership that captures the attention of senior policymakers in the UK and abroad.
This is a role for someone who wants their analysis to improve how well society adapts to demographic change. You will design and deliver your own empirical research, work with quantitative datasets and our international health and prevention models, and undertake qualitative and quantative work.
We are looking for someone with advanced data analysis skills, who writes clearly and persuasively and is confident in telling a story with data. You will be a strong presenter, comfortable building relationships with senior external stakeholders, and well organised enough to run several projects at once and meet your deadlines.
Closing Date: 5 October 2026
Interview/Start Dates
The application deadline for both roles is 9.00am on Monday 5 October 2026.
Head of Storytelling & Impact interviews will be held on Monday 19 October 2026
Research Analyst interviews will be held on Tuesday 20 October 2026
Start date for both roles: ASAP
