<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>About PUBLIC</strong></p> <p>PUBLIC is a digital transformation partner committed to helping the public sector turn innovative ideas into practical solutions. Combining our expertise around government policy, delivery and technology, we aim to build a public sector that is powered by new technologies and innovative ways of working to achieve better outcomes for citizens. This mission is what drove us to create PUBLIC and is what continues to drive everything we do.</p> <p>We started PUBLIC because we were collectively frustrated that the technology revolution we were witnessing was not having a positive enough impact on the public sector. With the ambition to put ‘GovTech’ on the map, PUBLIC emerged as a trailblazer in bridging this gap between government and innovative tech.</p> <p>Today, PUBLIC works with a diverse range of organisations including the UK Ministry of Defence, the UK Department for Business and Trade, the European Commission, the Crown Commercial Service, National Grid and the NHS, to name a few. We support these organisations with their digital transformation through our full suite of services, delivering strategic advising, learning and digital upskilling programmes, digital product delivery and policy monitoring and evaluation.</p> <p>We are proud to be a go-to digital transformation partner for the public sector and continue to work rigorously to provide greater value for our clients and achieve greater impacts on the services they deliver for citizens. As we continue to evolve as a business, this vision to build a better public sector will remain our north star - informing our decisions, guiding our growth and energising our dedicated team of innovators.</p> <p><strong>Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:</strong></p> <p>PUBLIC is deeply committed to maintaining a diverse, inclusive and safe workplace that embraces individuals from all walks of life. We are an equal opportunity employer and actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. This includes, but is not limited to, those with neurodiversity, disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals from all ethnic and racial backgrounds and veterans. We believe that a wide range of voices enriches our team and drives innovation.</p> <p>As a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, we are dedicated to supporting the Armed Forces community and welcome applications from service leavers, reservists, veterans, and their families. We are also committed to creating an environment free from discrimination, where everyone feels respected and can thrive.</p> <p>Candidates from non-traditional backgrounds and underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. To facilitate an equitable hiring process and minimise unconscious bias, we blind review all applications in the initial stages through questions thoughtfully designed to help you demonstrate your skills and unique potential.</p></div><p><strong>The Role</strong></p> <p>As an <strong>Evaluations Associate</strong>, you will help answer these questions by supporting the design and delivery of evaluations that assess the economic value, effectiveness and impact of public policy, digital transformation and technology-enabled programmes.</p> <p>Working alongside Senior Associates, Project Leads and subject matter experts, you will contribute to research and analysis that helps public sector organisations understand the costs, benefits and outcomes of their decisions. This may include examining the economic case for adopting new technologies, assessing the costs and benefits of different policy options, or evaluating whether a programme has delivered the outcomes it set out to achieve.</p> <p>You will combine economic thinking with quantitative and qualitative research, using evidence to develop robust, practical recommendations for clients. You will learn to translate complex findings into clear reports, presentations and insights that support better decision-making and the effective use of public money.</p> <p>You will have the opportunity to work across a range of sectors and policy areas, including health and care, defence, local government and wider public services. Projects may involve economic appraisal, cost-benefit analysis, value-for-money assessments, impact evaluation, market research or the development of monitoring and evaluation frameworks.</p> <p>This is an opportunity for someone with strong analytical instincts, an interest in economics and public policy, and a desire to understand how evidence can help governments make better decisions. You do not need to be an expert in every evaluation method from day one. We are looking for someone who is curious, rigorous, proactive and motivated to develop their expertise.</p> <p><strong>Key Responsibilities:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Support the assessment of the costs, benefits and wider economic implications of public policy interventions, digital programmes and technology investments. </li> <li>Conduct desk research, literature reviews, market research and primary research to understand the economic, policy and strategic context of an evaluation.
