Role:
Our client has created a new role and is looking for Head of Evaluation (Data Lead) to generate and use compelling evidence to transform the youth employment system in England. You will work closely with the Director of Impact and Evidence and Deputy Director of Evidence and Evaluation to lead a team of Evidence and Evaluation Managers.
