The Organisation

ImpactEd is an award-winning social enterprise that exists to help evaluate, understand and improve impact in education. 

In our education system, we invest huge amounts of time, money and energy in different programmes and interventions to improve outcomes for pupils. Yet far too often, we don’t know what is working – and what isn’t. We exist to address this evaluation deficit, helping schools and those working with them to better understand what is working to make a difference to the lives of young people. 

The Opportunity

We work with both schools and education organisations such as charities, universities and education technology companies (our ‘impact partners’). We are looking for a candidate who can design, consult and support delivery of a variety of evaluation partnerships. We divide the work we do with partners into three different strands: capacity building, use of our ImpactEd platform and external evaluations.

This role will lead and support on partnerships across the three different strands. In particular, you will help our partners to develop their evaluation strategy and approach – for example through leading Theory of Change workshops or helping them define the right measures to assess the impact of their activity - and conduct independent impact assessments of a number of educational programmes and interventions.

The role will involve hands-on partnership management and consultancy, developing organisational capacity by running workshops and training sessions and running of evaluation activities to evaluate educational impact. For example, over the last year, we have supported Oak National Academy to develop their evaluation strategy while delivering millions of online lessons during lockdowns, and worked closely with Challenge Partners to evaluate a number of their programmes including the Excellence for Everyone programme and the Middle Leaders Quality Assurance Review.

Essential experience:

• Understanding and experience of the UK education system (preferred)

• Research and evaluation experience, particularly in education or youth work (preferred)

• Experience of data analysis, report writing and translating complex findings into actionable insights

• Experience of partnership management and facilitation, particularly in relation to programme delivery or consultancy roles

As well as this, you are likely to be most successful in the role if you communicate clearly and persuasively, are detail-oriented, are solution-focused and share our intellectual curiosity and desire to learn rapidly.

Why us?

You would be joining a dynamic social enterprise with opportunities for development and progression in line with organisational growth. We are committed to:

• Agile and flexible working: responsive management, flexible hours, work from home options

• Personal excellence: we invest significantly in professional development, including an external mentor for every staff member, an individual CPD budget, and formal and informal training and support

• Mental health and wellbeing: access to health and wellbeing advice and free therapist support
