Senior Researcher, Vulnerable Learners and Post 16 About EPI The Education Policy Institute (EPI) is an independent, impartial and evidence-based research institute that aims to promote high quality education outcomes for all children and young people, regardless of social background. We're known for producing research that both informs and influences public debate and policy making. We employ a team of dedicated quantitative researchers from a range of academic backgrounds and communication experts who produce high quality research and ensure that it reaches a wide range of audiences, including the top level of government and the national media. About the Vulnerable Learners and Post 16 Team At the age of 16, young people in England face a wide range of pathways, including vocational and technical routes, apprenticeships and A levels. Many progress to higher education (HE), while others re-enter education and training later in their working lives. The team's work aims to provide robust evidence base on issues such as funding, attainment, qualification reform and access to HE. We assess the extent to which England's post 16 provision prepares people for life and employment. The team also leads analysis on the opportunities and outcomes of more vulnerable groups across the education system, from early years through to young adulthood. Our work addresses questions such as: How effectively and equitably is post 16 provision in England giving young people the skills and knowledge needed to contribute to the economy and society? How are further and higher education provision and access changing, and which groups of young people are helped or harmed as a result? How have societal events such as the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis affected educational outcomes? How has qualification reform changed the nature and accessibility of post 16 education? The position EPI is seeking a Senior Researcher to join the Post 16 and Vulnerable Learners team. The postholder will contribute to, and at times lead, priority projects across the post 16 landscape, supporting work on education pathways, access, skills, and learner outcomes. This includes projects with a particular focus on the needs and outcomes of vulnerable learners. As part of their remit, the postholder will also have ongoing responsibility for EPI's HE research programme, continuing to shape and expand EPI's HE agenda. Higher education remains a central component of the education policy debate, particularly in the context of cost-of-living pressures, fees and funding, and persistent inequalities in access for disadvantaged groups. In their first six months in post, the Senior Researcher will support work to strengthen the evidence base on the experiences and challenges faced by young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in post 16 education. They will also contribute to projects examining post 16 drivers of student outcomes, qualification clustering and pathways, and EPI's flagship annual report. The postholder will have line management responsibility for a Researcher and will report to Sam Tuckett, Associate Director for 16-19 education. Key responsibilities Priorities will typically include: Undertaking quantitative analysis, using large administrative datasets Developing, testing and collaborating on the identification of policy solutions Communicating findings to policymakers, the education sector and mainstream media Leading the project management of research Building EPI's HE research funding stream over time Maintaining and developing EPI's HE network and leading on EPI's commentary on HE policy The postholder will also develop expertise in matched education and employment outcome data, including Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO), to inform research on the longer-term outcomes associated with different higher and further education pathways. We pay Senior Researchers £38,000 - £45,000 depending on experience. We also offer: 30 days annual leave (with additional leave for bank holidays and the period of office closure between Christmas and New Year) 8-10% employer pension contributions The opportunity to work flexibly, including part-time, or on secondment. Cycle-to-work and season travel ticket schemes This role is subject to the satisfactory completion of a six-month probation period.
