✨we’re looking for an insight and evaluation manager to help no limits understand, evidence and learn from the difference we make to children and young people✨

no limits is the leading youth services charity in southampton, supporting children and young people in the city and across hampshire.

at no limits, it is important our staff and volunteers reflect, represent, and have experience of the challenges faced by the children and young people we support. We are proud of and appreciate our many staff and volunteers who use their own lived experience to support the children and young people they work with.

with this in mind, we are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (dei) in all aspects of our work and organisational culture – and when recruiting, it’s important to us that we continue diversifying our staff and volunteer teams, with children and young people at the centre of everything we do. You can learn more about our dei approach here.

when we talk about talent, we value the transferrable skills and experiences you can bring to no limits, whether through work (in the same or a different sector), volunteering, or personal experiences. To make sure we get the best talent on our team, we are open to and actively encourage applications from all backgrounds and sections of the community, including diverse ethnic backgrounds, lgbtqia+, disabled, and neurodiverse individuals.

as insight and evaluation manager
, you will lead no limits’ approach to understanding, evidencing and learning from the difference we make to children and young people.

working alongside colleagues in fundraising & communications and the data team, you will focus on turning data into meaningful insight. This includes developing and embedding evaluation frameworks, supporting our organisation‑wide theory of change and outcomes framework, and ensuring learning from data is actively used to improve services, strengthen funding bids, and demonstrate no limits’ impact, learning and expertise to external audiences, including funders, commissioners and partners.

you will work closely with our data team to ensure that what we collect, analyse and report through our crm and reporting tools reflects impact, outcomes and social value. The role plays a key part in supporting no limits to shift from compliance‑based reporting towards an insight‑led culture that supports learning, improvement and influence.

your key responsibilities will include:

• supporting the development and embedding of service‑level logic models and organisational theory of change and outcomes framework, working with heads of service, managers, delivery teams and external evaluation support.
• developing and delivering mixed‑method evaluation approaches that balance funder requirements with meaningful learning for services.
• leading and coordinating no limits’ approach to outcome measurement, ensuring tools and methods are ethical, trauma‑informed and accessible for children and young people.
• working closely with the data team to ensure evaluation needs are reflected in crm developments, data capture processes and reporting dashboards.
• analysing and translating qualitative and quantitative data into clear insight that supports service improvement, decision‑making and strategic planning.
• establishing and managing a regular insight cycle, including periodic insight reporting to senior managers…
