About Home-Start Birmingham North West 

Home-Start is one of the UK’s leading family support charities. We help parents to build better lives and better futures for their children. We have been supporting families for over forty years right across the UK and on British Forces bases in Germany and Cyprus too.

We believe that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children the best possible start in life and helping them to achieve their full potential.

In an ideal world there would be no need for a charity like Home-Start. All parents would be free of the stresses and strains of raising their children. But for many parents the pressures of family life are simply too much to cope with alone. There can be so many reasons for this; poor mental health, illness and disability, poverty, isolation and lack of family support networks, the list is endless. We want to see a society in which every parent has the support they need to raise happy and healthy children.

Across Birmingham there are six Home-Start charities working in diverse communities throughout the city, Home-Start Birmingham North West covers Sutton Coldfield, Kingstanding,Perry Barr and Oscott. Our main office is located in Kingstanding.

About The Access Project

We support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access and successfully transition top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university. Our volunteers are trained and supported to be effective tutors who work with our students for an hour a week to raise their grades. In addition, a dedicated school-based staff member mentors the students so they have the knowledge and support to make strong university applications. Our results show this approach works.

About the role

The Access Project (TAP) is an evidence-based, data driven intervention. Central to our programme are the ways in which we use data to ensure each of our students receives the provision they need, to learn about how we can improve our delivery and to evaluate our impact on our students’ university prospects. We have developed sophisticated monitoring and evaluation systems bringing together data from a variety of sources to track students’ progress (impact management) as well as ascertain their outcomes (impact evaluation). We collect data on our students’ academic and socio-demographic background, their participation on TAP’s programme and progress on our bespoke university readiness scales, and their academic results and university destinations. We use this data to intervene in real-time when delivery goes off-course but also to understand how TAP activities affect student outcomes and publicize this impact externally.

As part of the Impact Team, the Insight & Evaluation Manager will manage the development and delivery of bespoke research and evaluation projects being conducted internally or externally commissioned to help TAP achieve the greatest possible impact for its students. One key part of this role will include the project management of TAP’s annual impact evaluation through which we aim to understand the relationship between our programme activities and students’ university and academic outcomes. The ideal candidate would be confident in overseeing such a project from start to finish, designing the evaluation approach, coordinating data collection and analysis, and presenting findings to various audiences. The Insight & Evaluation Manager will also be responsible for line managing and supporting the Data & Insight Coordinator, as well as working both individually and collaboratively on additional research projects, and overseeing impact-related external reporting. This role would suit an analytical thinker, who possesses excellent project management and people skills, and is passionate about using research and evaluation to improve the university outcomes of disadvantaged students.
