THE CENTRE FOR TRANSFORMING ACCESS AND STUDENT OUTCOMES IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Evaluation Manager About TASO The Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes (TASO) is an affiliate What Works Centre, and part of the UK Government's What Works Movement. Our vision is to eliminate equality gaps in higher education (HE). Our mission is to improve lives through evidence-informed practice. TASO was set up in 2019 and became an independent charity in April 2021. Our work focuses on the generation, synthesis and dissemination of high-quality evidence about effective practice in widening participation and student outcomes. We primarily focus on developing and disseminating causal evidence and encourage the sector to do the same by providing HE professionals access to research, toolkits, evaluation guidance, evaluation training and more to help improve equality within the sector. The Role The Evaluation Manager will work on TASO's Research and Evaluation (R&E) programme to develop a better understanding of what works to support widening participation and student success. With the support and guidance of the Head of Evaluation, the Evaluation Manager will lead the development and delivery of practical evaluation training courses, of a suite of high-quality resources and step-by-step guidance to support universities and colleges to better evaluate the activities and programmes they deliver. This will include developing evaluation guidance documents, pages for our website, webinars and training materials. The Evaluation Manager will design and deliver training based on these materials to a wide range of external stakeholders - e.g., widening participation and student support practitioners at higher education institutions. The Evaluation Manager may also commission new projects to external partner organisations that are designed to develop evaluation guidance for practitioners, evaluators and researchers from multiple higher education institutions. They will work across these projects to manage and monitor progress, collate findings, analyse data and help steer the overall programme of work. They may also undertake internal research projects themselves - including synthesis of secondary research, conducting primary qualitative and quantitative research - working closely with the Chief Research Officer and other Research Managers in the team. Typically, the Evaluation Manager would be supported by a junior Evaluation Officer and/or a Research Officer. The role will involve substantial stakeholder management, liaison with various interested parties outside TASO, convening of stakeholder groups and supporting training sessions. The Evaluation Manager will have strong communication skills and be able to effectively deliver their evaluation training content, clearly convey complex research findings, articulate and promote complex quantitative information and advanced evaluation methods (particularly causal impact evaluation methods), and support TASO to influence broader policy discussions. While TASO directly engages with the higher education sector, this role does not involve conducting academic research or delivering academic lectures. Instead, the focus is on supporting practitioners in the sector to improve their applied research and evaluation skills. Reporting directly to the Head of Evaluation, the main responsibilities will include: Developing a suite of high-quality, practical evaluation guidance to support practitioners within universities and colleges to better evaluate the activities and programmes they deliver. Using these resources and materials to lead the design and delivery of training - in-person and online - to a wide range of external stakeholders. Delivering external training courses, workshops, and events to disseminate the work of TASO's wider research programme, which will include a range of evaluation methodologies. Developing theory of change models and evaluation plans for individual interventions and multi-intervention programmes that higher education institutions are delivering, for example, pre-entry outreach initiatives or student mental health interventions. Conducting desk-based research, reviewing existing literature to synthesise the quality of evidence on a given topic, and collating examples of sector good practice. Commissioning of external research and evaluation projects and collaborating with external partners e.g. research agencies, evaluation consultancies, or specialist academic advisors. Overseeing funded projects, ensuring delivery to timelines, value for money for TASO, and timely and proactive risk assessment and mitigation. Designing, running and analysing the results of research projects in collaboration with multiple external organisations. This may include qualitative and quantitative research methods. Developing TASO's relationships with key stakeholders in the higher education sector and contributing to the administration and secretariat for a number of advisory panels formed of external stakeholders. Developing/maintaining knowledge of cutting-edge research and evaluation which is relevant to TASO's work. Using this knowledge to contribute to the delivery of blog posts, literature reviews and research briefings. Line managing an Evaluation Officer and/or a Research Officer. Once appointed, the Evaluation Manager will be supported to grow into their new role through an intensive programme of on-boarding, induction, and on-going support - e.g. by coming along to co-deliver some existing training sessions together with an experienced team member, before delivering training on their own.

Full time
Evaluation Manager About TASO The Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes (TASO) is an affiliate What Works Centre, and part of the UK Government's What Works Movement. Our vision is to eliminate equality gaps in higher education (HE). Our mission is to improve lives through evidence-informed practice. TASO was set up in 2019 and became an independent charity in April 2021. Our work focuses on the generation, synthesis and dissemination of high-quality evidence about effective practice in widening participation and student outcomes. We primarily focus on developing and disseminating causal evidence and encourage the sector to do the same by providing HE professionals access to research, toolkits, evaluation guidance, evaluation training and more to help improve equality within the sector. The Role The Evaluation Manager will work on TASO's Research and Evaluation (R&E) programme to develop a better understanding of what works to support widening participation and student success. With the support and guidance of the Head of Evaluation, the Evaluation Manager will lead the development and delivery of practical evaluation training courses, of a suite of high-quality resources and step-by-step guidance to support universities and colleges to better evaluate the activities and programmes they deliver. This will include developing evaluation guidance documents, pages for our website, webinars and training materials. The Evaluation Manager will design and deliver training based on these materials to a wide range of external stakeholders - e.g., widening participation and student support practitioners at higher education institutions. The Evaluation Manager may also commission new projects to external partner organisations that are designed to develop evaluation guidance for practitioners, evaluators and researchers from multiple higher education institutions. They will work across these projects to manage and monitor progress, collate findings, analyse data and help steer the overall programme of work. They may also undertake internal research projects themselves - including synthesis of secondary research, conducting primary qualitative and quantitative research - working closely with the Chief Research Officer and other Research Managers in the team. Typically, the Evaluation Manager would be supported by a junior Evaluation Officer and/or a Research Officer. The role will involve substantial stakeholder management, liaison with various interested parties outside TASO, convening of stakeholder groups and supporting training sessions. The Evaluation Manager will have strong communication skills and be able to effectively deliver their evaluation training content, clearly convey complex research findings, articulate and promote complex quantitative information and advanced evaluation methods (particularly causal impact evaluation methods), and support TASO to influence broader policy discussions. While TASO directly engages with the higher education sector, this role does not involve conducting academic research or delivering academic lectures. Instead, the focus is on supporting practitioners in the sector to improve their applied research and evaluation skills. Reporting directly to the Head of Evaluation, the main responsibilities will include: Developing a suite of high-quality, practical evaluation guidance to support practitioners within universities and colleges to better evaluate the activities and programmes they deliver. Using these resources and materials to lead the design and delivery of training - in-person and online - to a wide range of external stakeholders. Delivering external training courses, workshops, and events to disseminate the work of TASO's wider research programme, which will include a range of evaluation methodologies. Developing theory of change models and evaluation plans for individual interventions and multi-intervention programmes that higher education institutions are delivering, for example, pre-entry outreach initiatives or student mental health interventions. Conducting desk-based research, reviewing existing literature to synthesise the quality of evidence on a given topic, and collating examples of sector good practice. Commissioning of external research and evaluation projects and collaborating with external partners e.g. research agencies, evaluation consultancies, or specialist academic advisors. Overseeing funded projects, ensuring delivery to timelines, value for money for TASO, and timely and proactive risk assessment and mitigation. Designing, running and analysing the results of research projects in collaboration with multiple external organisations. This may include qualitative and quantitative research methods. Developing TASO's relationships with key stakeholders in the higher education sector and contributing to the administration and secretariat for a number of advisory panels formed of external stakeholders. Developing/maintaining knowledge of cutting-edge research and evaluation which is relevant to TASO's work. Using this knowledge to contribute to the delivery of blog posts, literature reviews and research briefings. Line managing an Evaluation Officer and/or a Research Officer. Once appointed, the Evaluation Manager will be supported to grow into their new role through an intensive programme of on-boarding, induction, and on-going support - e.g. by coming along to co-deliver some existing training sessions together with an experienced team member, before delivering training on their own. There are also plenty of existing training and guidance materials that the new Evaluation Manager can use to build on while developing new content. Why work for TASO Annual Holiday - 27 days per year, plus public/bank holidays and a day off for your birthday. Pension Scheme - TASO will contribute 8% to your pension.
