THE CENTRE FOR TRANSFORMING ACCESS AND STUDENT OUTCOMES IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Evaluation Manager About TASO The Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes (TASO) is an affiliate What Works Centre, and part of the UK Government's What Works Movement. Our vision is to eliminate equality gaps in higher education (HE). Our mission is to improve lives through evidence-informed practice. TASO was set up in 2019 and became an independent charity in April 2021. Our work focuses on the generation, synthesis and dissemination of high-quality evidence about effective practice in widening participation and student outcomes. We primarily focus on developing and disseminating causal evidence and encourage the sector to do the same by providing HE professionals access to research, toolkits, evaluation guidance, evaluation training and more to help improve equality within the sector. The Role The Evaluation Manager will work on TASO's Research and Evaluation (R&E) programme to develop a better understanding of what works to support widening participation and student success.

While TASO directly engages with the higher education sector, this role does not involve conducting academic research or delivering academic lectures. Instead, the focus is on supporting practitioners in the sector to improve their applied research and evaluation skills. Reporting directly to the Head of Evaluation, the main responsibilities will include: Developing a suite of high-quality, practical evaluation guidance to support practitioners within universities and colleges to better evaluate the activities and programmes they deliver. Using these resources and materials to lead the design and delivery of training - in-person and online - to a wide range of external stakeholders. Delivering external training courses, workshops, and events to disseminate the work of TASO's wider research programme, which will include a range of evaluation methodologies. Developing theory of change models and evaluation plans for individual interventions and multi-intervention programmes that higher education institutions are delivering, for example, pre-entry outreach initiatives or student mental health interventions. Conducting desk-based research, reviewing existing literature to synthesise the quality of evidence on a given topic, and collating examples of sector good practice. Commissioning of external research and evaluation projects and collaborating with external partners e.g. research agencies, evaluation consultancies, or specialist academic advisors. Overseeing funded projects, ensuring delivery to timelines, value for money for TASO, and timely and proactive risk assessment and mitigation. Designing, running and analysing the results of research projects in collaboration with multiple external organisations. This may include qualitative and quantitative research methods. Developing TASO's relationships with key stakeholders in the higher education sector and contributing to the administration and secretariat for a number of advisory panels formed of external stakeholders.
