The Brilliant Club Recruitment Pack Research and Evaluation Consultancy Lead (Maternity leave cover) January 2026 Registered Limited Company: 07986971 Registered Charity: 1147771 (England and Wales), SC048774 (Scotland) Registered Office: Fivefields, 8-10 Grosvenor Gardens, London, SW1W 0DH Research and Evaluation Consultancy Lead (Maternity Leave cover) Start Date: June 2026 (or as soon as possible following this) Salary: £43,663 - £45,873 (plus £2,000 London weighting for those living in London and within the M25) Contract Type: Fixed-term 12-month contract About the role At The Brilliant Club, we mobilise the PhD community to support students from less advantaged backgrounds to access the most competitive universities and succeed when they get there. We work with students who, because of their family income, parental history or the postcode they live in, are at risk of missing out on the life-changing opportunities linked to higher education. We are delighted to be hiring a Research and Evaluation Consultancy Lead to join The Brilliant Club. This pivotal role will drive the charity’s research and evaluation consultancy work through Brilliant Consulting. Through our consultancy work, we have partnered with a range of universities and education organisations, such as the Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes in Higher Education (TASO) and The Sutton Trust. The Consultancy Lead will provide research and evaluation services to universities and other education organisations working in the university access, student success and wider education space. This role will work alongside a Senior Research and Evaluation Officer to deliver high-quality consultancy projects and will report to the charity’s Director of Research and Impact. The role will involve collaborating with different teams from across the organisation and will include coordinating and managing colleagues on consultancy activities. The role will also contribute significantly to business development work to support the charity’s income generation. The consultancy team is part of the charity’s wider research and impact team, who collectively have two areas of responsibility: evaluating and reporting the impact of the charity’s programmes and providing research and evaluation consultancy and strategy support to education organisations. The successful candidate will have strong quantitative and qualitative research skills and have a proven track record of delivering evaluation projects in education or a related field. They will be highly experienced with managing stakeholder relationships and delivering concurrent projects and, ideally, will have also contributed to bid writing and/or other income-generation activities. While this role can be based at any of our offices throughout the UK, some travel will be required (mainly to London) to attend in-person meetings. About you The role will best suit someone who • has advanced quantitative and qualitative research skills and knowledge of evaluation methodologies, with experience of constructing comparison groups and running statistical models to understand impact. • has excellent written and verbal communication skills, ideally with experience of bid writing. • has experience managing multiple projects concurrently, including managing and quality assuring other colleagues’ work. • has the ability to manage and analyse datasets using software packages (e.g., Excel, SPSS, R). • has knowledge of the UK education landscape, including higher education. • has experience working in an evaluation/research consultancy environment. • will adhere to information security policies included in the charity’s ISO 27001 manual and complete information security training. • has a demonstrable passion for furthering The Brilliant Club’s mission. About The Brilliant Club What we do Access to higher education and the life-changing opportunities that come from attending the most competitive universities is not equal. 28 in 100 of the most advantaged students progress to the most competitive universities. In contrast, only 2 in 100 of the least advantaged young people access these universities. We think this is fundamentally unfair. We work across the UK to support less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities, and to succeed when they get there. Between 2021 and 2026, we will work with 100,000 students across the UK to help them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to access the most competitive universities. We will also support 10,000 students from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed once they enter universities. We hope that you’ll consider joining us, as we work to create a fairer society where no child’s education is limited by their background. Working for us • Hours: 37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday, flexible working with 10am – 3pm core hours, some evenings and weekends required. • Benefits include: 36 days’ holiday (i...
