You will need to be able to undertake quantitative evaluation of existing datasets. These analyses will help understand patterns of social mobility across the UK and drivers of poor mobility, alongside helping to shape messaging for the Commission.

You will have a strong track-record of published reports, analysis and/or evidence-based briefings.
