HEAR FROM LUKE

Apply

Based on your skills, experience and interests, we think you’d enjoy hearing about Luke’s experiences here. Luke joined after a career in industry and academia, and now heads up our work in Children’s Social Care.

“I was ready for a change – for something fresh and exciting. I definitely got that here. In part because there’s such a fantastic learning culture. I almost felt like a new graduate again, and in a very positive way.”
Luke Tregidgo,
Director

LUKE TREGIDGO STREAMLINING A VITAL SUPPORT SERVICE FOR FAMILIES

Luke’s core focus is on driving change in different public sector organisations so they can give children, young people and their families all the support they need to thrive. His work with an Early Help Service is a case in point – it saw more families being supported earlier, reducing escalations to more serious levels of intervention. As part of Newton, the level of impact you can have upon real lives will be huge.

FOCUS ON DELIVERY

Luke relishes the fact that at Newton, he’s not just crunching the numbers. That he’s not just behind a screen coming up with solutions from afar. Instead he combines data analysis with onsite working alongside the client.

Luke

“One of the ways we have the biggest impact on our clients is through our analytical capabilities. We dig into the data, spot the gaps and then bring it altogether in a meaningful way so we can make a compelling, evidence-based case for change.”

– Luke

QUICKFIRE QUESTIONS

You’ve been at Newton for a while now. How have things changed?

Luke

“In the seven and a half years that I’ve been at Newton, the scale and impact of the work we do for our clients has expanded massively. And I think that’s been fuelled by the fact that we’re recruiting people with more diverse skillsets and mindsets.” 

– Luke

And what’s stayed the same?

Luke

“We’ve always been very non-hierarchical. Everyone here is encouraged to contribute and challenge the way we do things. We’ve always believed in the collective power of decision-making and innovation, and I don’t think that’s ever going to change.” 

– Luke

BALANCING WORK AND HOME

For Luke, having a balanced approach to work and home is more important than ever before.

Luke

“I’m about to become a father. And it’s so good to know that Newton will support me in getting the right amount of quality family time. They won’t allow work to intrude on that.”

– Luke

POWERING YOUR PROGRESSION

Luke values the way that Newton seeks out fresh perspectives. We’re firm believers that we can learn as much from each other as we can through more formal programmes. 

Luke

“There’s a very strong focus on development and we’re always encouraged to think in different ways. While having solid experience is important for experienced roles, we’re also encouraged to try new ways of doing things.”

– Luke

SUPPORTING CLIENTS SIDE BY SIDE

One of the things we’re most proud about at Newton is the way we see our client programmes through from beginning to end – and beyond. It’s also incredibly fulfilling for our people. They don’t just dip in and out of a programme; they have a long-term involvement in driving change.

Luke

“We really do have a tangible impact. Each day you work with clients, you see things getting better, bit by bit. By the end of the programme, which could be a year or so down the line, you see the sum impact of all those smaller steps that together, have made a significant difference.”

– Luke

EXPERIENCE LIFE ON CLIENT SITE

Spending time with our clients so we can experience their world is central to our philosophy. It’s about getting real insights from the various individuals who make things happen on a daily basis. By understanding the challenges they face, we can get a much better understanding of the challenges faced by the wider organisation.

Luke

“We roll our sleeves up and get out there with our clients. It might be that we help to run youth groups with Children’s Social Care. Or that we go out on visits with health workers. Then we combine these invaluable insights with data and analysis to build a powerful programme of change.” 

– Luke

SHARING EXPERIENCES WITH THE WHOLE COMPANY

Whatever your interests and passions, Newton offers plenty of opportunities for colleagues to work together and make an impact beyond their immediate client projects, whether that’s through knowledge sharing, all-company initiatives or advancing a cause that has a personal significance.
 

Review days

Our fortnightly review days are a brilliant opportunity not only for our people to connect with each other, but also to share ideas, bring fresh perspectives and collectively tackle the most complex challenges in an open, relaxed environment.

 

 

 

 

 

Inclusion and giving back

We have a number of employee resource groups designed to foster a diverse, inclusive working environment. There are also great opportunities to give back through the Newton Foundation – our people have been involved in everything from fundraising efforts for Alzheimer’s to mentoring students from underprivileged backgrounds to supporting programmes to tackle homelessness in the UK.

Luke

“When you’re helping clients to solve very complex issues, it’s great to know there’s plenty of support in place. Like our fortnightly whole company review days where everyone gets together to share challenges and suggest solutions.”

– Luke
