The Youth Endowment Fund
Evaluation Manager
Reports to: Senior Evaluation Manager
Salary: £44,100
Contract: 24 months full-time (Fixed Term Contract).
Location: Central London, Hybrid*
Closing date: 5pm on Monday 22nd June
Interview dates: Week commencing Monday 6th July
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
All of us will experience violence at some point in our lives. For many children, it is a daily reality. Each year, tens of children are killed, hundreds are hospitalised, 1 in 5 teenage children are victims and the majority admit to feeling afraid of violence. It scares them when they travel home from school, prevents them from going out and makes the most vulnerable feel like they don’t matter. It is taking lives, traumatising families and dividing communities. It robs potential, progress and hope. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Youth Endowment Fund exists to try and permanently change things. To succeed, we must build an exceptional body of knowledge about violence affecting young people and how we reduce it. This knowledge has to be both rigorous and highly relevant to those making decisions about how to support vulnerable young people. We need to find out what works and what doesn’t through evidence synthesis, data analysis and qualitative research into children’s lives. We need to convert this into highly accessible content on what works, how delivery organisations need to change their practice and how the systems they operate in need to be reformed. We then need to work with the right people that can make change happen, across systems, policies and practice, to have a real impact on reducing violence affecting children’s lives.
The evaluation team designs and implements the processes which assess the evidence for the fund’s various funding rounds. The team is also responsible for assessing, appointing, monitoring and the quality assurance of complex and rigorous impact evaluations from experts in the field.
As an integral member of our evaluation team, you will be part of making sure we make the best decisions about what we fund, 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 commission and deliver high-quality evaluations so that we can find out the very best ways to prevent young people and children from becoming involved in violence.
As an Evaluation Manager, you will:
-
Support the evaluation team to design and implement the processes for assessing the quality of evidence underpinning applications 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.
-
Lead the development of the evaluation design with grantees and evaluators.
-
Review regular monitoring reports from evaluators and provide approval for payments, making sure their milestones are effectively achieved, and the work stays on budget.
-
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.
About you
You’re this sort of person who is:
-
Committed to preventing young people and children from becoming involved in violence: You’re passionate about the impact of prevention and early intervention. You don't want your days to pass without making a difference.
-
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.
-
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’re confident in assessing the quality of evidence that underpins interventions and can guide decisions on grant applications.
-
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.
-
Highly organised and likes 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’re a valuable addition to any team by supporting others and working collaboratively. You’re flexible and able to work on your own initiative.
-
Committed to equality, diversity and inclusion: You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views and values.
You may have, but they are not essential:
-
Good knowledge and understanding of crime, serious or other relevant areas. This could include areas such as such as RSHE and harmful relationship behaviours, child development, parenting or children’s mental health from fields such as psychology, neuroscience or education research.
-
Experience of commissioning evaluation or designing your own 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 in the ethical review process.
-
Great quantitative analysis skills: This includes experience 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.
While it’s not a criterion, we’re especially interested to hear from applicants who have experienced youth violence.
It’s also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed.
