Job overview

Who are we looking for

We are looking for a talented and experienced professional to join our Impact Governance team as the Director for Insights.

This is a newly created role as we focus our efforts on leading and growing our approach to Programme Self-Evaluation and assessing participant learning and behaviour change.

Some of your day-to-day tasks will involve collaborating with the different department heads, managing the examination and presentation of data and working with our Technology team to develop systems and tools that all contribute to the self evaluation process. In addition, you’ll oversee the design and implementation of how we assess participant knowledge acquisition and behaviour change by working closely with the Learning Design team to embed effective assessment methods into our programmes. In addition, you'll be committed to your team's development and maximizing their impact.

Working in a hybrid way, you’ll be attached to either our Birmingham, London or Manchester office and will report to the Executive Director of Strategy and Impact. You'll join the senior team here at Ambition Institute and be a strong advocate for our mission and values-based leadership.

Some skills and experience that will help you to succeed in your new role include ensuring accurate reporting for various governance stakeholders (including our internal Executive Committee and external audiences like Ofsted and the DfE), experience of managing a team with diverse specialisms/expertise and a good understanding of the latest education research on effective educator development.

Through this work, you and your team will help us to continually increase the likelihood that our programmes will improve the quality of teaching and leadership in England.

Who are Ambition Institute?

At Ambition Institute we help schools tackling educational disadvantage to keep getting better, and help their teachers and school leaders to become more expert over time. That’s how we’ll make sure every child gets a great education and the best possible start in life.   

  • We train teachers and leaders at all levels to get better at the things that make the biggest difference: what you teach, how you teach it, and how you create the conditions for schools to thrive.   
  • We share what works. Everyone can benefit from evidence of how great teaching and leadership can improve schools and change lives, so we connect people to the latest research and best practice.   
  • We champion every teacher and school leader’s potential to develop, as the driving force for sustainable school improvement.

Our offer

We are happy to announce that we will be able to offer you:  

  • Agile working culture, so you can control how you work.  
  • Staff affinity networks that help keep equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of our work.  
  • Enhanced maternity pay after a year’s service.  
  • Shared parental leave package.  
  • Access to free, confidential 24/7 wellbeing and support line.  
  • Professional development offer for all staff.  
  • 25 days’ annual leave + bank holidays.  
  • Employer pension contribution of 11% (10% pension plus 1% national insurance rebate).  
  • Interest free season ticket / bike loans

How to apply

All applications must be received by the closing date, 9am on 28 July 2022. Interviews are expected to take place the week beginning 1 August 2022.
