The Local Growth Analysis division is a multi-disciplinary team of economists, statisticians, and social researchers that works across both the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and the Department for Business and Trade. The division provides high quality, innovative analysis that is instrumental in the delivery of the Government’s agenda on Levelling Up and local economic growth across the UK.

You will be a key member of a G6-led team that leads on evaluating Levelling Up and local growth programmes. The team is delivering evaluations for several multi-billion pound Levelling Up programmes, including the Levelling Up Fund, Towns Fund and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. You will conduct high quality research and fieldwork to generate evidence that will be used to inform decisions made by senior officials and ministers. You will use your technical expertise and experience to manage contractors commissioned to deliver evaluations, shaping their programme of work and quality assuring their outputs.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of an inclusive, welcoming team that is advancing our collective understanding of what works for Levelling Up. Our insights are essential for designing and delivering policies that deliver real change for communities and places across the UK.

**Job description**:

- Managing the evaluation of the £4.8bn Levelling Up Fund programme, working closely with evaluation contractors and other stakeholders to ensure the project is delivered successfully.
- Contributing to decisions about the design and delivery of the process, impact, and value for money evaluations for the Levelling Up Fund programme.
- Working with the evaluation contractors to ensure surveys address key evaluation issues, and survey data is aligned for evaluations.
- Working with monitoring and secondary administrative data, to ensure it is of sufficient quality and that it can used as part of the Levelling Up Fund evaluation.
- Working with key stakeholders, including the Levelling Up Fund programme team, other local growth programme teams, other government departments, and local authorities, to ensure their priorities and any concerns are being addressed.
- Liaising and working with the What Works Centre for Local Economic Growth, academics, and other external evaluation experts.
- Flexing your qualitative research skills including conducting focus groups and interviews, to develop and conduct an in-house evaluation of the Funding Simplification Pathfinders Pilot, bringing to life a body of evidence that will inform ministers’ and senior officials’ decisions.
- Working flexibly across the team’s high-profile programme of evaluations - contributing to, and potentially leading on, evaluations for other Levelling Up programmes and strategic projects aimed at building the evaluation capability within DLUHC.

**Person specification**:

- Strong technical knowledge, and experience, of designing and running process and impact evaluations, ideally involving a range of different methods.
- Strong project management skills covering all aspects of design, delivery, and reporting.
- The ability to manage primary data collection, showing consideration for effectiveness and efficiency, for example, minimising respondent burdens.
- Experience of analysing administrative and/or secondary data using innovative techniques, ideally for the purposes of evaluation.
- Experience of delivering to tight and multiple deadlines and under pressure, whilst ensuring the quality of your work and that of contractors.
- Able to communicate complex analysis in a clear and coherent way.
- Able to establish strong working relationships with a range of policy and analytical colleagues and relevant external agencies.
