About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund exists to prevent young people and children from becoming involved in violence.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in violent crime. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. For children and young people, there have been particularly large increases in those who are both the perpetrators and victims of offences involving knives. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. Founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, we exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. Many organisations have this calling. Our unique role is to identify what works best and spread the good news. We do this by finding the very best ways to prevent youth violence, funding great initiatives and working to scale them up and spread great ideas.

Making this happen is a massive challenge. We will only succeed if we build a fantastic body of knowledge about youth violence and make it very accessible. Central to this is designing, commissioning and managing complex and rigorous impact evaluations with experts in the field, alongside working closely with key stakeholders and local areas to ensure that evidence changes policy and practice in a way that prevents young people from being caught up in crime.

As an integral member of our evaluation team, you will be part of making sure we make the best decisions about what we fund and we design and execute the evaluations to learn from it about what works to prevent youth violence.

Key responsibilities

The core of your job is to ensure that we evaluate excellently so that we can find out the very best ways to prevent young people and children from becoming involved in violence.

As an Evaluation Officer, you will:

• Support the evaluation team to design and implement the processes for assessing the quality of evidence underpinning applications people and organisations make for funding.
• Provide recommendations on which applications should be approved for funding based on your assessment.
• Choose the best evaluation partner for each project through launching invitations for our panel of evaluators to apply, assessing the technical quality of their applications and making recommendations, assisting with appointments and providing ongoing monitoring and quality assurance of their work with grantees.
• Lead the development of the evaluation design with grantees and evaluators, ensuring they put in place a plan to generate the best learning from the funded activity through workshops, consultative meetings and proposal reviews.
• Communicate frequently with evaluators, including regularly solving problems and making autonomous decisions about the projects you oversee.
• Review regular monitoring reports from evaluators and provide approval for payments, making sure their milestones are effectively achieved and the work stays on budget.
• When it comes time to develop and write the final evaluation report on a project, serve as the main point of contact for the evaluation partner, providing a rigorous review and feedback on the report and ensuring that it is an accurate reflection of the learnings from the project.
• Support the evaluation team in the development of the principles and protocols we need to deliver robust and respected evaluations.

• Contribute to making sure the evidence we produce is communicated in a clear and accessible way which will drive sustainable change. This is critical to everything we do at the Youth Endowment Fund.

You are confident in assessing the quality of evidence that underpins interventions and can guide decisions on grant applications.
