Regional Lead – Education (Contract)
Home Based (with travel across the East Midlands and East Anglia)

About Us

We are the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), an independent grant-making charity that is committed to ensuring that children from all backgrounds can fulfil their potential and make the most of their talents.

We offer grants to a variety of organisations, such as schools, local authorities and charities, to trial new projects aiming to help 3 – 18 year olds succeed, whether that’s improving their educational performance, giving them valuable life skills or preparing them for the world of work or further study.

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

- Salary of £45,000 - £50,000 per annum DOE
- Benefits package
- Support projects that are building a better future for children and young people
- Operate at the heart of the EEF’s work

If you’ve got a great track record of delivering change across a school or organisation, this is a fantastic opportunity to advance your career while making a real positive impact on the UK’s education.

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

As the Regional Lead, you will ensure that our teaching resources and programmes are reaching as many schools as possible throughout the East Midlands and East Anglia to raise attainment.

You will build up a strong network of contacts with headteachers, key influencers and system leaders, acting as the main point of contact and establishing a collaborative approach to school improvement.

Specifically, you will:

- Help build understanding and engagement around the scale-up approach
- Manage contact with, and support, the region’s research schools
- Work with key delivery partners, ensuring the delivery of continued professional development (CPD) and training
- Identify and build relationships with potential delivery partners
- Plan, co-ordinate and monitor the delivery of the programmes to all priority schools
- Monitor, report and quality assure the implementation of CPD and training

This role is home based with travel across the East Midlands and East Anglia region and trips to London for a minimum of twice a month.

About You

To join us as the Regional Lead, you will need:

- A track record of project management and delivering change across a school or organisation
- Strong relationship management and communication skills
- A willingness to travel to London regularly and to occasionally stay overnight
- An understanding of the education landscape in your home region
- An understanding of the causes and consequences of the attainment gap in English schools
- A full, valid driving licence

Ideally you will have experience of working with system leaders across your home region, but this is not essential. Experience of quality assuring the delivery of CPD and training would also be beneficial.

Please note the successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

The closing date for this role is the 6th January 2020, with interviews taking place from the week commencing the 27th January 2020.

The EEF is committed to creating a diverse environment and ensuring that all qualified applicants receive equal consideration for employment. We are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment practices and are open to job shares, secondments, part-time and flexible working schedules. However, applicants should note that the job will require travel across the region, at least twice monthly trips to London (more in the first two months of the role) and will require attendance at some meetings with little control of timings.

We regret that we are unable to sponsor visas for applicants from outside of the EEA.
