The Role

High-quality research and evaluation is at the heart of the EEF’s work. The EEF looks for projects with evidence that they have potential to raise attainment. We then commission an evaluation, largely using randomised controlled trials, to build on and extend the existing evidence. The Evaluation Managers will primarily be working on evaluations related to our Accelerator Fund work, which is funded by the Department for Education to improve school access to evidence-informed programmes that have the potential to raise pupil attainment in maths and literacy.

Your responsibilities include:

-working closely with grantees, other members of the EEF and the EEF’s panel of evaluators to understand the practical issues involved in delivering evaluations and finding solutions to issues that arise
-critically reviewing evaluation proposals to ensure proposed designs are high-quality and cost-effective and that the most suitable evaluators are matched with projects
-liaising between external project and evaluation teams to ensure the project evaluation designs are as high-quality as possible and set-up effectively
