Deaf Unity is seeking an experienced evaluation specialist to support evaluation of the charity’s projects, community activity and services.

Our activities engage a broad range of beneficiaries, participants and stakeholders: deaf students and employees; our local deaf community in London; and many different stakeholders – universities, employers and local councils – working with us to remove the barriers that disadvantage deaf people and prevent access to opportunity. 

The overall aim of this commission is to equip Deaf Unity with a practical, effective evaluation framework and plan enabling us to capture and analyse our impact across the full range of our activities. We require this in order (i) to improve the design and delivery of our services and activities, on an ongoing basis and (ii) to evidence the charity’s impact and the difference we are making in people’s lives, helping us to make a more powerful case for change and to recruit new funders and partners.  

Deaf Unity: mission and purpose 

Deaf Unity is a deaf-led charity, based in London, that works to empower, nurture and train deaf individuals. Our particular focus is on three main points of transition that are pivotal in enabling deaf people to realise their potential – and to thrive within and contribute fully to society. These transition points are: 

• leaving school to enter further/higher education 

• entering the workforce 

• progressing in the workplace 

We work with our community in London to identify the barriers deaf people face at every stage of this journey, empowering them to make informed choices and to succeed. We partner with stakeholders (universities, employers, voluntary sector partners) to decrease, overcome or eradicate these barriers altogether. 

From our home base in London, we work alongside our community and partners to develop and deliver new initiatives in response to clearly identified needs. We directly engage 300+ deaf people each year: inspiring and supporting school-leavers to take their first steps into higher education; empowering graduates and employees to navigate the world of work with confidence; and connecting deaf people with each other to build community, tackle isolation, mobilise around key issues and break down barriers to learning and employment. Sharing and dissemination of our work (including online to reach the national community) goes on to engage far greater numbers. 

Deaf Unity generates much of its income from providing interpreting and consultancy services and delivering training (British Sign Language and deaf awareness courses).  This activity fully aligns with our charitable mission and generates essential unrestricted funding to support our wider activities. 

Context for the commission 

In late 2023, the Board of Trustees agreed a forward plan, setting out the charity’s objectives and the activities we plan to deliver over the next 3-5 years. Our work is guided by 5 high-level, strategic objectives. We aim that by 2028:

1. Deaf Unity will have created in partnership with London schools a high-quality, effective careers advice pack/toolkit which can be accessed digitally by schools across the UK to inspire and support deaf learners on their FE/HE/vocational journey.

2. Deaf Unity will be providing a comprehensive package of support around employability, that is recognised and in use by 5 leading nationwide employers and by the National Union of Students (NUS). 

3.  We will be hosting in London a highly respected, impactful annual event for deaf people in work that is reaching 100 deaf people each year, directly or indirectly 

4. Deaf Unity will be able to evidence that the CIO is making a substantial positive difference in the lives of learners, students and employees - through quantitative and qualitative feedback including testimonials and case studies 

5. Our organisation will be stable, financially secure and resilient, supported by strong governance and management systems and effective partnership networks

This commission directly supports objective 4. 

In parallel with this, Deaf Unity will work with an Organisational Development consultant to make the transition from a freelance to an effective and well-managed PAYE staffing structure for the organisation, with strong systems and policies embedded across our teams.

This programme of development activity is kindly funded by Trust for London. 

In the course of the year Deaf Unity will also be working with a corporate partner offering pro-bono support to redevelop the website and advise on online course delivery. 

Overview of role 

The evaluation specialist will be required to support Deaf Unity’s CEO and Training & Services Manager in developing an appropriate evaluation framework and action plan to be applied across the breadth of the charity’s activities, with supporting materials (e.g. questionnaires; interview prompts; other approaches). This is in the context of projects that often serve the deaf community, where written responses to feedback forms/online surveys are not always appropriate. 

The consultant will support the leadership team to put in place training (not included in the fee) and systems to ensure that freelance teams delivering Deaf Unity’s project and training activities have the necessary understanding, guidance and confidence to support effective monitoring and evaluation of these activities. 

Elements of Deaf Unity’s work to be included in this framework are:

• interventions designed to support deaf people in successfully navigating key points of transition 

• regular community activity: we are keen to assess e.g. the wellbeing and community-building aspects of Deaf Unity’s programmes 

• learners’ experiences of our training courses 

• formative evaluation: ensuring that new issues, lived experience and insights emerging through our regular community programmes feed into the charity’s plans and methodologies 

We are keen to adopt relevant technology solutions to strengthen our evaluation systems and processes, and to integrate these with existing systems (e.g. CRM) wherever possible. 

Schedule 

We aim to start work on this evaluation project in April 2025, completing by end November 2025. We expect most of the work to be carried out in the first 4 months, with light-touch support thereafter. The evaluator will be required to work flexibly throughout this period and this will be negotiated with you on appointment, bearing in mind your other commitments. 

Time commitment: Expected approx. 10 days in total 

Fees: Fixed fee is £4,500 inclusive of VAT and expenses 

Specification 

The evaluator will - 

• Guide development of a suitable evaluation framework and supporting action plan for  Deaf Unity’s year-round activity, to ensure that appropriate, relevant data and feedback are captured and analysed at relevant stages of delivery 

• Support the training of staff and volunteers, to equip teams with the necessary skills and competencies in inviting and capturing feedback 

• Advise on mechanisms for feeding community feedback into ongoing content and programme development/creation – and evidencing this process 

• Advise on and support the introduction of appropriate technology/systems to support monitoring, evaluation and reporting 

• Have due regard throughout the process to Deaf Unity’s charitable objects, so as to ensure that the evaluation process as a whole provides meaningful insights into the charity’s success in meeting these aims. 

Person specification 

Essential

• Evidenced skills and experience in evaluating the impact of activities and projects of this kind - from inception to final reporting 

• Experience of designing and implementing successful approaches to collecting data and feedback, that encourage input from a range of audiences/communities 

• Technically proficient, with experience of using modern technologies and methodologies to support and strengthen data collection, monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

• Exceptional communication and strong facilitation skills, coupled with sensitivity and a commitment to confidentiality; comfortable engaging with staff, participants, learners, and partners.

• Some knowledge of British Sign Language 

It is anticipated that you’ll work remotely with occasional attendance at Deaf Unity events/programmes.
