Are you an academic or professional researcher based in Northern Ireland? If so, Reading Force has an opportunity for you.
We are looking for an external evaluator for our 3-year National Lottery funded project. This paid part-time role involves reviewing and strengthening our approach to evaluation, supporting the identification and evidencing of outcomes, and contributing to evaluating project case-studies. This is an ideal opportunity for involvement in a community-based project and the isolation of impact.
Reading Force encourages serving and veteran families to read together. Delivery to the military community over the past 15 years has shown this to be a simple and yet profoundly effective means of promoting resilience, wellbeing and positive mental health, reducing isolation, promoting individual confidence, and developing both family and community connectivity.
For more information, please see this job description. Please apply with a CV, letter of interest and outline response to alison@readingforce.org.uk
