Help make a difference through meaningful change.

Join our Communication, Involvement and Engagement Team as a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Contractor and play a key role in measuring the impact of our Democracy Champions programme.

We’re looking for a motivated, proactive and experienced professional who can turn data into meaningful insights, helping us understand what works, demonstrate impact and improve opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autistic people to have their voices heard and participate in democracy.

Purpose of the Role

The MEL Contractor will provide hands-on technical support to refine and deliver the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) framework for the Democracy Champions programme, ensuring high-quality data collection, robust impact evaluation and actionable insights within a short timeframe.

Democracy Champions is a community-led, co-designed train-the-trainer programme and a key part of the My Vote My Voice (MVMV) campaign. MVMV brings together over 240 organisations to support people with learning disabilities and autistic people to participate actively in democratic processes.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with experience in monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), programme design and impact measurement. You’ll have:

  • Experience developing Theory of Change models and evaluation frameworks.
  • Experience working with people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people, ideally in social care, health or community settings.
  • Skills in designing accessible research methods, including Easy Read surveys, interviews and participatory evaluation.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to turn complex data into clear, accessible recommendations.
  • Excellent organisation and time management skills, with the ability to work independently, meet tight deadlines and collaborate with colleagues, partners, funders and people with lived experience.

About You

You’ll be able to demonstrate previous experience delivering MEL, impact measurement or evaluation projects. A relevant qualification or equivalent experience in evaluation, social research, public policy, social impact, public health or a related field is desirable.

The Company

United Response is a charity that was founded to respond to a need. People with learning disabilities and autistic people were being forced into long-stay institutions and denied the right to build their own lives and homes, connected to friends, family and all that life has to offer. So we created places people could be supported to live the lives they wanted to, building networks of support within a community.

Over the last 50 years we’ve grown from these grassroots. We embraced a creative, flexible spirit that enabled us to develop innovative support for people across the country.

United Responses’ culture of inclusion, and our focus on health and wellbeing and working models helps ensure that everyone – regardless of background – feels included and can be the best they can be.

United Response is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to the Mindful Employer values and are a Disability Confident Leader, providing support to applicants with mental and or physical disabilities including guaranteeing an interview for disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria.
