The Organisation

ImpactEd Group supports education and purpose-driven organisations to maximise their potential. We do this by helping our partners to be consistently impactful and operationally sustainable. ImpactEd Group is made up of ImpactEd Consulting and its specialist practices, ImpactEd Evaluation, ImpactEd Philanthropy and our most recent practice ImpactEd Data and Artificial Intelligence. Drawing on our domain expertise and technical skills in these areas, ImpactEd Group aims to be the first port of call for leaders across the education ecosystem. Since being founded in 2017, ImpactEd Group has worked with thousands of schools and hundreds of organisations, serving more than a quarter of a million pupils annually. Our strategy commits to systemic impact by helping our partners to make better decisions. We also empower our team to make decisions on behalf of the organisation as part of our aspirations for employee ownership.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Director to help lead, develop and grow our Evaluation practice. The Director will sit on our Practice Board and be a key part of the leadership team guiding the success of the practice both commercially and in terms of social impact.

We design and deliver high-quality research and evaluation projects that help our partners make better decisions for children using good evidence.

The Director role will lead business development and strategic partnerships, support and oversee evaluation delivery, and hold a number of strategic responsibilities. For the right candidate we hope it will be both a challenging and rewarding opportunity to shape the direction of a growing social enterprise and help our partners make better decisions to benefit young people.

We are looking for someone with experience in research and evaluation, business development, and leadership and management. We are particularly interested in experience of delivering quantitative impact evaluations, though are open to hearing from a range of candidates. Experience and understanding of the UK education system would also be an asset.

• Agile and flexible working: responsive management, flexible hours, hybrid or fully remote working

• Personal excellence: we invest significantly in professional development, including an external mentor, an individual CPD budget, and formal and informal training and support

For the full specification of skills that we hope that the successful applicant will bring, as well as what we offer as an employer, please see the job pack.

Gingerbread exists to fight for the nearly 2 million single parents in England and Wales and their children. With roots stretching back over 100 years, we have a long history of highly effective campaigning that has redefined the regard in which single parents are held, and a track record of delivering well-respected single-parent focused services. We are working to achieve our vision of a world in which all single parents and their children thrive. 

But against the backdrop of the cost-of-living crisis, too many single parents are currently battling to feed their families and pay their bills each month. That is why the work that we do is as important now as it ever was, and so last year we launched a new strategy that works to deliver support for today and change for tomorrow. Over the coming years, we will seek to grow our income and reach, taking a systems-change approach to discrimination and attitudes and a programmatic approach to delivering our services and campaigns.

The landscape over the coming years will continue to be challenging for so many charities like ours. With less funding available and higher costs of delivery, we must ensure that we remain agile and resilient for the future so that we can respond to opportunities as they arise. We are looking for a skilled Head of Finance & Resources to join us on a 6–9-month contract basis to help drive improvements across our finance, HR and IT functions, delivering efficiencies and smarter ways of working through better use of systems, more integrated budgeting processes and robust controls.

Our Head of Finance & Resources is a key member of our senior management team (SMT), and you will be working closely with the CEO, Board and wider SMT on all financial matters as we look to deliver against our strategy and grow our fundraising presence. The role will require a high degree of internal management and empathetic leadership style to ensure you bring your team with you through during the period of change.

We are looking for an experienced leader and qualified accountant with exceptional strategic and operational finance skills gained in the charity sector, including knowledge of supporting fundraising strategies. You will have good project management skills and experience of leading change management or continuous improvement programmes. You will also have a collaborative and selfless style, with the ability to inspire those around you and instil confidence at all levels.
