School Partnerships Officer

The Organisation

ImpactEdis an award-winning social enterprise that exists to help evaluate, understand and improve impact in education.

In our education system, we invest huge amounts of time, money and energy in different programmes and interventions to improve outcomes for pupils. Yet far too often, we don’t know what is working – and what isn’t. We exist to address thisevaluation deficit, helping schools and those working with them to better understand what is working to make a difference to the lives of young people. Annually, we now reach over 1,000 schools, 70 education organisations and more than 200,000 young people.

The Opportunity

Understanding which interventions and programmes are likely to make the biggest difference to the life chances of young people is more important than ever. As School Partnerships Officer, you will work to ensure that our school and multi-academy Trust partners are empowered to effectively evaluate their work to make a bigger impact.

You will be the first point of contact for a portfolio of partners who you will work with to deliver our programme of support, track their engagement on theImpactEd platform, and report on their in-school evaluations. Day to day, that could mean helping a school to get set up on the platform, supporting a school to understand whether their new tutoring intervention is having the desired impact on disadvantaged students, or working with a Multi-Academy Trust to design an evaluation to find out how they can most successfully support transition into Year 7.

As a varied role in a growing social enterprise, the opportunity has a mix of partnership and account management responsibilities combined with tailored support for school-based research and evaluation.
