The Organisation

ImpactEd Group supports education and purpose-driven organisations to maximise their potential. We do this by helping our partners to be consistently impactful and operationally sustainable.

This role is within our Evaluation Practice. The evaluation team works with schools and organisations, analysing the impact of programmes and interventions to help them do more of what works and less of what doesn’t. We work with more than 1,400 schools and 80 education organisations, serving more than a quarter of million pupils. This includes helping our partners to design high-quality research projects, delivering them, and providing systems and tools for data collection, reporting and impact benchmarking.

Opportunity 1:Manager, ImpactEd Evaluation

The Manager role works across ImpactEd Evaluation. Our partners encompass education organisations such as charities, edtech organisations and government, and schools and multi-academy Trusts. We aim to deliver high-quality research and evaluation projects that help our partners make better decisions to benefit young people.

You will act as a consultant on a range of different partnerships to help partners develop their evaluation strategy and approach. For example, you could deliver independent evaluations for organisations like the Careers and Enterprise Company, Nesta or multi-academy Trusts such as Lift Schools. You will also have opportunities to contribute to development of team strategy and learning and development resources.

As a manager you will act as a project lead, delivering high-quality research projects at scale, and support the creation of specific deliverables for projects led by others. This covers the end to end of research design and delivery, including the creation of Theories of Change and evaluation frameworks, data collection and analysis, and impact reporting to help our partners learn about the effectiveness of their programmes. At manager level you will have the opportunity to take on larger-scope partnerships supported by a project sponsor at senior manager level or above.

You will act as a lead on a range of different partnerships to help partners develop their strategy and approach. For example, you could lead on the management of a key multi-academy trust, or could be supporting other team members with individual school partnerships, as well as supporting the Associate Director of TRAPs with overall research project design and planning. You will also have opportunities to contribute to development of team strategy and learning and development resources.

As a manager you will work closely with an Associate Director, lead on school group account management and support with the overall running and development of the TRAPs team.

• Work with the other Events team managers to contribute to the planning & delivery of other activity areas. 

Product development and innovation 

• Seize the opportunity to grow & improve PCR’s third-party event portfolio, staying up to date with sector trends, identifying new journeys, suppliers & products, and taking a test & learn approach, always ensuring that learnings are captured. For this, there will be realistic budgets & an understanding of the investment needed for new ideas. 

• Develop approaches to engage supporters beyond their initial participation, working with Public Fundraising colleagues & others to test cross-selling journeys and maximise the life-time value of third-party event fundraisers.

• Alongside the Head of E&C and other Events team managers, embed a culture of innovation and supporter insight.

• Take the lead in developing processes and infrastructure across the Events team that improve efficiency, compliance and best practice, working with other team members to prioritise and deliver this work. 

Team leadership  

• Alongside the other Events team managers, supervise the relevant day-to-day work of the Events & Community Executives to ensure that the projects you are working on together are carried out effectively.

About the role:

At Grace House, SHP’s specialist 11-bed hostel for women in Camden, you’ll step into a leadership role that offers real purpose and the chance to drive meaningful, lasting change. As Service Manager, you’ll be at the helm of a pioneering service that supports women experiencing multiple disadvantage; homelessness, domestic abuse, substance use, poor mental health and the ongoing impact of trauma and exploitation. You’ll guide and inspire a skilled, passionate team dedicated to a trauma-informed, gender-responsive approach that supports each woman to reclaim safety, rebuild trust and shape a life on her own terms.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a service known for its compassion, collaborative ethos and commitment to continuous learning. The day to day brings challenge and reward in equal measure: managing a multidisciplinary team that includes project workers, an ETE specialist and a dedicated health lead; shaping practice through the lens of our Psychologically Informed Environment framework; and fostering strong partnerships with services across mental health, substance use and violence against women and girls. Every interaction is rooted in empowerment and possibility, creating space for healing, hope and opportunity.

At SHP, you won’t just grow in your role, you’ll shape it. We offer a leadership journey grounded in reflective practice, robust supervision and access to development pathways that will support you to lead not just this service, but potentially others in the future. You’ll be part of a values-led organisation where your voice counts, your impact matters and your career can truly flourish. If you're ready to lead with purpose and make a difference that lasts, this is where your next chapter begins.

Please note: This role is open to female applicants only under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010, as the service delivers trauma-informed support to women affected by Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG.) We are committed to equal opportunities and actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

About you:

• Leadership that inspires confidence, compassion, and accountability.
