BookTrust is the UK's foremost charity dedicated to enhancing children's reading experiences. We strive to engage millions of children in reading, particularly those from disadvantaged or vulnerable backgrounds. Reading not only fosters happiness and health but also strengthens relationships, enhances academic performance, and nurtures creativity. Our mission is to support families in sharing stories and books from an early age, ensuring that every child has access to the joy of reading. Our carefully curated selection of books and well-researched programs are implemented by numerous local partners, bringing the joy of reading to children across various communities.
This is an exciting time to join our expanding team of researchers and evaluators. Our organization has recently undergone significant transformation to align with our new strategic focus on assisting children from low-income and vulnerable backgrounds in their reading journeys. We have integrated a theory of change and a robust Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) culture within our operations. Our learning plan for the upcoming year is filled with diverse learning activities. This insight work is pivotal to BookTrust's objectives of enhancing our impact on children and families, as well as bolstering our public profile, advocacy efforts, and fundraising initiatives in support of our overarching mission.
In this position, we seek an individual with expertise in mixed methods and theory-based evaluation methodologies to aid in the development and implementation of our theory of change and MEL framework.
We offer excellent opportunities for the successful candidate to further develop their research, leadership, and partnership skills within a dynamic, purpose-driven national charity. Our organization promotes a flexible and supportive work environment, providing both on-the-job learning and formal training opportunities.
Application Process: To find out how to apply, please visit our website. Candidates are required to submit a CV and a cover letter detailing how they meet the person specification and their motivations for applying. The cover letter should not exceed two pages. Additionally, please address the following question in your cover letter:
BookTrust has established a new Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning framework to assess the impact of our initiatives with families from low-income households. What principles of effective evaluation should BookTrust incorporate into its MEL efforts?
Candidates should also attach one or two examples of research, evaluation, or learning outputs they have produced. Please indicate your preferred office location.
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusivity:
We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive recruitment process and actively encourage applications from diverse talent pools, including minority ethnic candidates, candidates with disabilities, and those from underrepresented communities.
We are committed to equality of opportunity and strive to ensure an accessible application process for all candidates. If you require any reasonable adjustments or would like us to accommodate your needs during the application process, please reach out to our HR team for further assistance.
