The Organisation
ImpactEd Group consists of 3 discrete, but complementary, business units:
Since being founded in 2017, ImpactEd has worked with thousands of schools and hundreds of organisations, serving more than a quarter of a million pupils annually. We are a growing and skilled team of over 30 people. Our strategy commits to systemic impact by helping our partners to make better decisions and empowering our team to make decisions on behalf of the organisation as part of our aspirations for employee ownership.
The Opportunity
This role sits within our Evaluation unit in our Impact Partnerships team, who work with education organisations such as charities, universities and education technology companies (our ‘impact partners’). Our work focuses on helping these organisations to design and deliver evaluations, and to build their capacity for impact evaluation.
We are looking for a candidate who can support the team internally with a variety of delivery and administrative processes, working directly with our schools and partners to support their evaluation journey. This will include supporting new schools through their onboarding and data collection processes and monitoring their usage of our digital platform, the School Impact Platform. You will also be responsible for liaising with schools to schedule focus groups with teachers and pupils and organise these events accordingly, and supporting colleagues with facilitating data collection and analysis, which will include reporting processes and creating surveys which form part of our evaluation work with schools.
The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to apply for our new professional development pathway, launching this summer. On this two-year scheme, a small cohort will rotate between our practices, gaining wider experience within strategy, evaluation and operational development within the education and social enterprise space.
About You
We are looking for some of the following attributes, though you might be more experienced in some areas than others, and open to a range of backgrounds:
Understanding and experience of the UK education system
Experience of quantitative and qualitative data analysis (using Excel is preferred, and this doesn’t need to be highly advanced) and report writing
Experience of working within an administrative or customer service/partner focused role
Track record of effective process and project management.
As well as this, you are likely to be most successful in the role if you:
Communicate clearly and persuasively, both written and verbally
Have exceptional attention to detail and enjoy setting up and working to clear processes
Are analytical and happy to spend time reviewing research literature or scrutinising data
Are entrepreneurial and solution-focused: you can think on your feet and adapt to change.
