The framework will enable us to capture the learning, successes and impact of our programmes; to inform strategic planning and organisational learning; and to demonstrate the value of outdoor arts to funders, partners and other stakeholders.

This is a short-term, strategic consultancy rather than a delivery or management role. 

The appointed consultant will design the framework and tools. Without Walls is recruiting a permanent Evaluation and Data Manager to manage the framework on an ongoing basis. The key deliverable for this project is therefore that the framework can be handed over and operated by that post holder and the wider team.

The appointed consultant will work independently, in close collaboration with the Chief Executive and the Head of Festival Partnerships.

Access requirements: We ask candidates to share their access requirements with us so we can make any reasonable adjustments if needed. Where an access worker is needed to carry out the responsibilities outlined in this document, the candidate will be asked to have the necessary Access to Work arrangements in place before the start date.
