Current vacancies

Senior Evaluation Consultant

  • Full time or Part time
  • £32,000 – £38,000
  • Hybrid: Edinburgh
  • Closing 30th September 2024

We need someone who has a passion for helping organisations use evidence to drive change, along with strong, facilitation and evaluation/research skills and client/project management experience.

We believe that evaluation is best when it is used for learning, improvement, reflection, and storytelling. Our approach builds on theories of change – outcome maps – as tools for planning, organising, and reflecting on data. We want our clients to have the evidence they need to deliver as best they can for people and communities.

Matter of Focus is a [B Corporation], with a mission to help people transform public policy and services to focus on what matters to people and communities. Established in 2017, we are a consultancy and award-winning tech company.

We work with organisations to:

  • help them understand and work meaningfully with the outcomes or impacts that matter to them,
  • support them to use data and evidence effectively,
  • use our tools and techniques to understand and track change.

We have a highly refined process of working with clients that includes context analysis, strategy support, building outcome maps, identifying and improving data, and reporting. Our approach is based on our extensive experience and builds on contribution analysis. It is brought to life and embedded into organisations through our specialist, cloud-based software [OutNav].

We developed OutNav to underpin our approach to outcome monitoring and evaluation. We have spent the last seven years building this platform for clients to manage outcome and impact evaluation – a single place for them to hold outcome maps and for collecting, collating and analysing data.
