Evaluation Manager
£28,500 to £32,000 per year pro rata (0.8 FTE) / £22,800 to £25,600 per year
Part-time, 28 hours per week
Fixed-term contract for six months in the first instance
Based in London / home and flexible working
Our client empowers people with the skills they need to succeed in life. Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them to support the evaluation of their reading programmes.
What you’ll be doing
Our client is recruiting an Evaluation Manager to provide interim cover for the evaluation of their growing range of programmes. As part of an evaluation team of five people, you will be responsible for managing the evaluation process, taking the lead on their reading programmes in schools and communities.
You will manage the evaluation process from start to finish. You will support programme design, using existing evaluation plans and tools and work with the programme and delivery teams to collect data, analyse data and write up findings.
This role is based in London, but you will be able to work from home if you prefer under our client’s flexible working policy. However, you will need to be in London at least six times per year for team and organisational days, or other office-based work, and unfortunately, they are unable to cover travel costs for this. You may also need to travel to visit programme activities, and costs for this will be covered by their expenses policy.
What our client is looking for
As a research post, you will need an undergraduate degree in a social science, as well as experience delivering evaluation projects from start to finish. This should include writing proposals / literature reviews, data collection, quantitative and qualitative data analysis and report writing. You will also need experience of applying different research methodologies and practices, great analytical skills and the ability to communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing, in different styles and for different audiences. Most importantly, you will also need an understanding of the challenges of working with our client’s target audiences and how best to overcome any barriers and collect data from them.
Why our client’s work is so vital
Reading and writing change everything. They give you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. They’re the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. They’re better results at school and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it’s harder to get where you want to go.
Our client helps people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words – reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond.
- They work collaboratively in local communities, focusing their work in areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges.
- They support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children.
- They campaign to make reading and writing a priority for politicians and decision-makers.
- They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their skills.
