We are recruiting a Senior Evaluation Consultant to join our team at Matter of Focus.

The main work will be with and for our clients, who are public service organisations across the public and voluntary sectors, and research centres, that undertake a mix of service delivery, policy or practice influencing, systems change, partnerships, supporting engagement of people with lived experience. You will work across multiple clients and projects on different sizes and scales.

We believe that evaluation is best when it is used for learning, improvement, reflection, and storytelling. Our approach builds on logic models or theories of change as tools for planning, organising, and reflecting on data. We want our clients to have the evidence they need to deliver as best they can for people and communities.

Matter of Focus was set up in 2017 by Ailsa Cook and Sarah Morton and is a consultancy and tech company. We are a B Corporation, on a mission to help organisations use data and evidence to improve outcomes for people and communities.

We work with organisations to:

• help them understand and work meaningfully with the outcomes or impacts that matter to them

• support them to use data and evidence effectively

• use our tools and techniques to track change.

You will be following our well-developed processes and practices, and you will bring strong organisational skills, an attitude of encouragement and respect to help a wide range of people succeed and enjoy this complex work, and a ‘can do’ attitude to helping the whole team.

We are looking for someone with experience of evaluation, working with or within the public and or voluntary sectors, and are particularly keen to hear from people with experience working in the children and families sector or supporting engagement of people with lived experience

OutNav is an innovative cloud-based software we have developed to underpin our approach to outcome monitoring and evaluation. We have spent the last three years building this platform for clients to manage outcome evaluation – a single place for them to hold outcome maps and for collecting, collating and analysing data. We constantly improve and refine OutNav and are considering other products that can help organisations use data and evidence effectively.
