UNPAID VOLUNTEER - Data and Evaluation Analyst
About The Position
You'll design and run the evaluation framework for BCI's learning programmes, starting with an intensive onboarding transformation and continuing as our ongoing learning analytics function. Phase 1 - Transformation Project: We're redesigning volunteer onboarding from compliance-heavy to mission-driven. You'll prove whether it works by establishing baselines, tracking progress, analysing what's effective, and presenting findings to leadership. Phase 2 - Ongoing Analytics: Monitor learning effectiveness, evaluate new initiatives, identify improvements, provide evidence that drives decisions about how we develop volunteer capacity. This isn't box-ticking. You'll actively shape BCI's capacity building through evidence.
