Key focus areas include:

• developing practical internal evaluation tools and cycles aligned to ERO expectations
• improving monitoring and follow-through for priority learners
• producing clear, concise reporting and assurance summaries (board‑ready where required)
• streamlining documentation and processes so they are efficient, coherent and sustainable

We are looking for someone who:

• has strong capability in internal evaluation, implementation monitoring and evidence building
• writes exceptionally well (clear, accurate, audience‑appropriate)
