About the role
This is a new and exciting opportunity to work with us as an Evaluation Officer in the Research and Monitoring Unit (RMU).
Sustrans’ Research and Monitoring Unit is a leading centre of excellence in active travel research, monitoring and evaluation.
The RMU plays an important part in supporting our vision by providing robust evidence on sustainable and active travel that ultimately influences and shapes policy, practice and behaviour across the UK.
Focusing on monitoring and evaluating the impact of infrastructure and behaviour change programmes, you will work on a range of projects around the UK and be involved in the planning, delivery, analysis and reporting of our monitoring and evaluation work.
We offer true hybrid working, a flexible mix of working from home and occasional travel to a nearby office Hub. There is minimal travel required in this role. However, in the course of your work, you may have to travel to one of the nominated Hubs or project sites if required to do so.
About you
You should have demonstrable quantitative and/or qualitative analytical skills, and be a competent Excel user or have a working knowledge of statistical software such as R.
You should be an excellent verbal and written communicator with the ability to present data and findings clearly. You should also have the ability to find innovative and creative solutions to problems.
You should have some experience in project management as well as the delivery of project monitoring and evaluation. You will also have some experience of working and communicating with partners or clients.
Sustrans has a long-term commitment to being a charity for everyone - reducing inequality, valuing diversity, enabling inclusion and ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect. We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups.
