Job description

We are seeking a creative and proactive individual to join our team as Innovation Lead (Impact and Evaluation). At the Leadership Skills Foundation, we believe that research should do more than just collect data. It should drive real-world solutions that improve the lives of the young people we serve.

Currently the organisation supports around 100,000 learners each year. As an innovation team our key priority is to ensure our learners experience high quality programmes that are relevant to them now and for their futures.  

In 2023, we launched our Evolve strategy to broaden our offer and we now have leadership skill programmes embedded across more age groups and subjects than ever. This has seen us develop exciting new partnerships and programmes such as our Environment Leaders Programme with WWF and RSPB and a new programme for primary school learners called the Shape Your Skills Award.  

 
Over the next five years we aim to more than double our reach to engage over 200,000 learners. We are committed to learn and evolve for the benefit of future generations, and innovation and measuring impact is a key part of this.  

 As Innovation Lead (Impact and Evaluation), you will use data and insights to support innovation, shape our programmes, and maximise impact. This dynamic role requires a creative thinker who can blend research with fresh ideas, experiment with new approaches, and turn insights into action. 

 If you enjoy testing ideas, working collaboratively, and using data to spark meaningful change, this role is for you.

Role purpose: 

  • Develop a timely, flexible and engaging approach for evaluating and measuring impact. For the benefit of the organisation, learners, centres and partners.
  • Provide insights and practical recommendations to help shape and improve learning programmes, ensuring they remain relevant and impactful.
  • Lead and report on our social impact for all stakeholders including internal and external.  

Main duties and responsibilities 

Develop and implement practical methods to evaluate and work with the innovation team to improve the impact of our programmes. 

  • Communicate insights in a way that drives decision-making, programme improvements, and supports innovation. 
  • Lead experimentation and test and learn approaches to help us refine new ideas and scale what works. 
  • Work collaboratively with teams to support improvement of our programmes and messaging. 
  • Select and apply effective monitoring and evaluation methods that support innovation, while keeping methods agile and efficient. 
  • Support teams to collect and analyse data in meaningful ways, ensuring insights are accessible and actionable. 
  • Maximise the value of evidence produced through effective communication with stakeholders.
  • Lead commissioned research contracts, including monitoring progress, reviewing and editing reports and managing relationships to enhance our programme offer.
  • Foster collaborative internal relationships throughout the organisation and support evaluation activities undertaken by other colleagues.  
  • Be an active member of the Innovation and Standards Directorate and carry out any other reasonable duties as requested by the Head of Innovation.  This will be aligned with the grade and level of responsibility of this post.
