Impact (Monitoring & Evaluation) Advisor & Committee Member

About us

King’s Trust International (formerly Prince's Trust International) has been supporting young people worldwide since 2015. Founded by HM The King, our Royal Founding President, to tackle the global crisis of youth unemployment, our vision is that every young person should have the chance to succeed, and our mission is to empower young people to learn, earn and thrive.

Our programmes and interventions are now present in 20 countries within the Commonwealth and beyond, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East. 

We are committed to amplifying the voices of young people on the global stage and putting their needs at the very heart of the design and delivery of our work. This complements global efforts to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those relating to quality education and decent work.

King’s Trust International (KTI) is committed to representing, at all levels, the global communities, and young people that we serve.

The role

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Programme & Safeguarding Committee which provides a space to interrogate our impact and programme design approach, champion our culture of continuous improvement, and review our safeguarding policies and practices. It reports to the charity’s board, providing advice and recommendations on The King’s Trust International programmes and strategy.

The successful candidate will provide guidance and insight on challenges and opportunities facing the charity. They will be responsible for helping us to ensure that quality and excellence are paramount in the delivery of our global projects and programmes. We are looking for someone who can commit to approximately 4-5 hours every 3 months.

You will have in-depth expertise in the principles of evaluation, and best-practice impact measurement approaches and knowledge of a range of quantitative and qualitative analysis methods as well as experience in Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) in either youth development or international development.

Excellent interpersonal skills and being a strong and effective communicator are essential, coupled with the ability to be solutions-focused and open to innovation.

In addition, there will be opportunities to engage with members of KTI’s staff and trustees, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and develop your specialist advisory skills and networks. As a technical expert, you will be expected to share learning from your own experience and would be considered part of the King’s Trust network, with the opportunity to influence critical decisions for the organisation.
