High quality research and evaluation is at the heart of our work. We look for projects with evidence that they have the potential to raise attainment. We then commission an evaluation, largely using randomised controlled trials, to build on and extend the existing evidence.

We are now looking for a Regional Lead to join us in early 2020 for a one year fixed-term contract (with the potential for extension) and work across the East Midlands and East Anglia.
 
The Benefits

Your work will enable EEF to increase our reach and deliver programmes that address the needs of disadvantaged children and break the link between family income and educational achievement.

So, if you are looking for a new role that will see you travelling across the East of England and developing your skills to create positive change, we want to hear from you.

The Role
