Role Overview
This is a brilliant time to join our Research and Impact team. We are at the start of a new strategy which has learning and development at its heart. We have embedded a strong monitoring, evaluation and learning culture within the organisation and have a highly evolved theory of change. We have a learning plan for the year ahead and a 5-year vision for where we want our learning culture to get to in the next strategy period. Our work is central to BookTrust’s ambition to deepen our impact for children and families, and build our profile, public affairs and income generation work in support of our overall mission. We are looking for someone committed to and excited by the potential for research and insight to strengthen our impact, with a specific focus on our work with primary and secondary schools.
Responsibilities & Requirements
The role will suit a mixed methods researcher with experience of fieldwork and analysing evidence from a range of sources to generate insights and help others apply these to inform decisions or drive change. It requires excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills, and a keen eye for detail. The role requires someone who is happy to work collaboratively and flexibly in a changing environment, potentially changing focus and approaches in line with evolving organisational priorities. It requires high levels of organisation and the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities. This is an early career position, but we are looking for candidates with one or two years of relevant experience outside academia.
