Evidence & Impact Officer

Who Cares? Scotland is Scotland’s only national independent membership organisation for Care Experienced people. Our mission is to secure a lifetime of equality, respect, and love for Care Experienced people in Scotland.  

At the heart of Who Cares? Scotland’s work are the rights of Care Experienced people, and the power of their voices to bring about positive change. We provide individual lifelong relationship-based independent advocacy and a broad range of imaginative participatory and engagement opportunities for Care Experienced people across Scotland.  We work alongside Corporate Parents and communities to broaden understanding and create change.  We work with policy makers, leaders, and elected representatives locally and nationally to shape law, policy and practice, working together to build on the aspirations of The Promise and secure positive change.   

The postholder will play an important role in our Evidence & Impact team, supporting the organisation to evaluate its activities, demonstrate the impact they make, and continually learn from our work. As a key part of the Evidence and Impact team, the postholder will help to ensure we have the strong evidence and funding base needed to positively grow the organisation and work towards achieving our vision for Care Experienced people. 

We particularly welcome applications from people with experience of the care system who meet the criteria for the post.  

If this sounds like the role for you, we would love to hear from you. For an informal conversation about this opportunity please contact Donna Nicholas, our Evidence & Impact Manager on dnicholas@whocaresscotland.org
