As we work with children and young people, an offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory references and DBS clearance, in line with our safeguarding policy.

Key responsibilities:

• Leading on developing and implementing Chefs in Schools’ evaluation and learning strategy, in line with our Theory of Change.

• Owning and overseeing the impact dashboard

• Ownership for embedding a learning culture, ensuring that timely and actionable insights are generated and fed back into design and delivery to support continuous improvement.

• Using internal data and external research to identify what works, ensuring these insights are shared internally and across the sector in line with our strategic objectives.

• Support delivery teams to collect quantitative and qualitative data using the evaluation toolkit. Ensuring data collection is proportionate and meaningful with high completion rates.

• Support delivery teams to understand how impact data can help to improve and develop programme effectiveness, whilst maintaining quality.

• Lead on the dissemination of findings across the organisation, including presenting at internal meetings and events

• Translating data into clear, evidence-based recommendations to guide decision-making 

• Work across the organisation to ensure our impact is effectively communicated with external audiences.

• Identify future research, evaluation and learning priorities that could strengthen Chefs in Schools’ programmes and contribute to wider sector understanding of effective approaches to improving school food.

• Work with external academics and researchers to commission external evaluations to develop our evidence base and contribute to national and international studies .

Essential Skills and Experience

• MEL Experience: Proven experience in a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) or impact measurement role within a charity, non-profit, or social enterprise setting.

• Evaluation Design: Confidence designing and implementing practical evaluation frameworks, data collection tools, logic models, or Theories of Change.

• Hands-on Data Skills: Strong analytical skills with the ability to independently collect, clean, and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data. You must be highly proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and comfortable managing data platforms.

• Translation of Evidence: A track record of critically appraising evidence and translating findings into actionable, practical recommendations for delivery teams.

• Communication & Reporting: Ability to produce high-quality, highly visual, and engaging reports and presentations tailored to different audiences (e.g., trustees, funders, operational staff).

• Relationship Building: Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and support busy operational teams to value and embed data collection.

Desirable Skills and Experience

• Sector Knowledge: Knowledge of food systems, school environments, or children and young people’s health and wellbeing.

• External Evaluations: Experience commissioning, managing, or collaborating with external academics and research partners to evaluate programmes.

• Tech & Systems: Familiarity with specific data visualization tools (e.g., PowerBI, Tableau) or CRM databases (ours is Beacon) to streamline data capture and reporting.

Salary: £44,000–£47,000

Hours: Full time

Contract: Permanent

Help young people with an affinity for mathematics discover where it can take them.

We're looking for a Careers + Employer Partnerships Manager to help University Maths Schools prepare young people with an affinity for mathematics for ambitious futures.

This is an opportunity to join a small, ambitious charity at an exciting stage of its development. You'll do this by building employer partnerships, developing national careers intelligence and creating a national centre of expertise that every University Maths School can draw upon.

If you enjoy connecting people, spotting opportunities and helping young people make informed choices about their futures, we'd love to hear from you.

Why U-Maths?

U-Maths is the national charity for University Maths Schools.

Our vision is that every young person with an affinity for mathematics can thrive and succeed.

Our mission is to advance excellence and equity in mathematics education by strengthening and growing the national network of University Maths Schools.

There are currently nine state-funded University Maths Schools, each established in partnership with a leading university and specialising in mathematics and the mathematical sciences for students aged 16–19. The network continues to grow, with two further schools in Nottingham and Durham due to open.

Together, these schools are helping more young people – particularly those from backgrounds currently under-represented in the mathematical sciences – to access an outstanding mathematics education and progress to ambitious futures.

Why this role?

No single school can maintain deep expertise across the rapidly changing landscape of mathematical STEM careers.

That's why U-Maths works nationally.

As our Careers + Employer Partnerships Manager, you'll build the employer relationships, careers intelligence and national expertise that help every University Maths School give students outstanding information, advice and guidance about mathematical STEM pathways.

About the role

You'll lead U-Maths' work to strengthen careers education and employer engagement across the network.

Working closely with schools, employers, universities and alumni, you'll build partnerships, develop careers insight, support careers and UCAS leads, create high-quality resources and lead national careers opportunities that individual schools would find difficult to create alone.

You'll help schools understand the skills, qualifications and experiences valued by mathematical employers, ensuring that careers advice, university guidance, research projects and enrichment activities are informed by current sector insight.

What you'll be doing

You'll:

• build long-term relationships with employers, universities, alumni and sector partners;
• develop and share national intelligence about mathematical STEM pathways and employer needs;
• support careers, UCAS and project leads across the University Maths School network;
• create careers and pathways resources for schools and outreach programmes;
• lead U-Maths' annual North and South student careers conferences and other national careers activities;
• provide additional support where individual students need something beyond existing school provision.

About you

You'll enjoy this role if you like building relationships, understanding emerging opportunities and helping other people make informed decisions.

You might have developed your skills in careers education, employer engagement, widening participation, partnerships, outreach, higher education, the charity sector or another setting where helping young people understand and access opportunity matters. We're more interested in the relationships you build, the insight you bring and the opportunities you create than in where you have gained them.

We're looking for someone who:

• enjoys bringing people and organisations together;
• communicates complex information clearly and practically;
• works independently while building trusted relationships across a network;
• is curious about how mathematical STEM careers are changing and keen to keep learning.

Why join us?

You'll be joining a small national team with the opportunity to build something that benefits schools across the UK and helps more young people with an affinity for mathematics thrive and succeed.

We offer:

• 30 days' annual leave plus bank holidays 
• 11% employer pension contribution 
• Flexible home-based working with monthly team meetings in London
• Workspace available at King's College London 
• A collaborative, ambitious and supportive team

We're aiming for the successful candidate to start on 1 December 2026, with some flexibility.
