Education Development Trust is an education charity that exists to transform lives by improving education around the world. We work collaboratively with national and local governments, schools and other partners to design and deliver sustainable solutions to improve education.

We are recruiting for a number of roles to join our Research and Consultancy team at Consultant, Senior Consultant and Principal Consultant level.

As an International Development Consultant, with a focus on delivery, you will provide high quality research and consultancy services to donors, governments and charities internationally, as part of an ambitious and dynamic team which sits at the heart of Education Development Trust. You will also play a significant role in shaping the direction and growth of the consultancy business, with opportunities to lead product development, policy and thought leadership initiatives.

We are particularly interested in applicants with experience of:

• Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning
• Evidence for Policy and Practice
• Teacher professional development
• School leadership development
• Curriculum design, especially English or Mathematics
• School improvement and raising school standards at scale, especially in numeracy and literacy

Your background might be in an improvement role in the school sector internationally, you might be leading a medium-large scale donor programme overseas, you might be in a research role in the education sector, or you might be in a business consultancy role with strong transferable skills.

You will have excellent consultancy skills, as comfortable in a project design role applying our research insights, as working in complex delivery teams internationally. Excellent writing skills are essential. You will thrive in a rapidly growing team, taking charge of your professional development and applying your skills to new business opportunities internationally.

Benefits:

We offer a competitive benefits package, excellent training and development opportunities, and family friendly policies to support flexible working.
