EYPP is one of a network of ninety-two Sport England national Place Partners and they are building on foundations laid as one of the original twelve Local Delivery Pilots. EYPP stand out as evaluation and learning practice trailblazers amongst the Place Partners – they are at the forefront of developing effective and innovative embedded evaluation and learning practices.
The evaluation and learning approach is deliberately non-traditional. It is an embedded, participatory evaluation grounded in systems thinking and realist evaluation principles, asking: what is changing within the system, why, and for whom? We are looking for an Evaluation & Learning Associate to work as an integral part of a small team, bringing genuine intellectual curiosity and relational skill to an exciting, complex and rewarding programme of work.
