Do you have a passion for nature and the environment? Do you want to make a real difference and secure significant environmental gains in the present and the future? Do you enjoy working in a team?

  • Monitoring environmental changes to identify and help reduce the effects of climate change
  • Working with farmers and landowners to develop greener food production methods
  • Advising on plans for new developments to maximise gains for nature
  • Providing ways for people to better connect with nature, including green social prescribing


We are the Government's advisor for the natural environment, playing a vital role in delivering the Government's 25 Year Environment Plan, an ambitious vision which brings new opportunities to protect and enhance and to achieve real outcomes for the environment.

The work of the team includes raising capability, providing direct advice on priority evaluations, embedding evaluation in our systems and processes and playing a leadership role across the environmental sector.


Key tasks:

  • Planning and designing evaluations of high priority interventions, working closely with policy and delivery leads to do so.
  • Leading on the development and embedding of a quality assurance process for evaluation, including a new Evidence Standard for Evaluation.
  • Delivering workshops, webinars and presentations to support with evaluation planning and raise awareness of evaluation across the organisation.
  • Working with other team members to deliver a programme of evaluation capability building and guidance.
  • Developing strong partnerships with external delivery and policy organisations including with Defra, the wider Defra group as well as appropriate professional bodies, for example the Defra Evaluation Community of Practice and UK Evaluation Society.
