Evaluation Officers needed for the Youth Endowment Fund to help make the best decisions on which projects we fund and to design and execute the evaluations to learn about what works to prevent youth violence.

Reports to: Senior Evaluation Officer, Youth Endowment Fund

Salary: £36,461-£38,380

Location: Central London 

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.

About you

You are this sort of person:

• You are committed to preventing young people and children from becoming involved in violence:  You are passionate about the impact of prevention and early intervention. You don't want your days to pass without making a difference.
• You are experienced in evaluation: You have a strong knowledge and technical expertise in evaluation methodologies including the ability to critically appraise the design of randomised control trials and related approaches.
• You really know what makes great research and quality evidence:  You can design and draft high-quality research proposals including the sample, measurement and analysis. You are confident in assessing the quality of evidence that underpins interventions and can guide decisions on grant applications.
• You are an excellent communicator:  You can produce technical documents that accurately report methodological and statistical information. You will combine this with experience of communicating complex evidence and analysis in a simple and accessible format to non-experts.
• You are highly organised and like working in a team:  You have excellent project and time management skills with the ability to deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment. You are a valuable addition to any team by supporting others and working collaboratively. You are flexible and able to work on your own initiative.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion: You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views and values.

• good knowledge and understanding of crime, serious violence or other relevant areas: This could include areas such as child development, parenting or children’s mental health from fields such as psychology, neuroscience or education research. You know the facts, understand the issues, know the key people and can discuss the theories. You are knowledgeable on this topic and very at ease discussing it with experts.
• experience of commissioning evaluation and research: This includes managing research and analysis from external contractors. Experience designing and carrying out your own research would be an asset, as would experience of the ethical review process.

• great quantitative analysis skills: This includes experience of using advanced analytical software such as R, Stata or SPSS
• knowledge and understanding of intervention and prevention science
• knowledge and experience of evidence synthesis: You know the different approaches and have carried out your own evidence synthesis projects.
