The brief

An experienced evaluation consultant is required to design and deliver an evaluation plan covering the STEM Learning Programme, which forms a key component of the Union Chain Bridge: Crossing borders, inspiring communities project.

The consultant will also be required to provide training to staff and volunteers, attend project review meetings, contribute to NLHF reporting and contribute to the project's Final Evaluation Report.

The STEM Learning Programme uses the Union Chain Bridge project as a focus and driver of activity with first, primary and middle schools on both sides of the borders.

The programme will support teachers in developing and improving their STEM practice; engage families in supporting their children's learning; and introduce STEM careers ideas in accessible ways.

The programme's central aim is to prompt a generation of primary/middle school leavers to enter secondary school understanding that STEM routes are accessible to 'people like me'; a key attitudinal change which will secure a genuine legacy for the Union Chain Bridge project.
