Role Title: Social Impact Intern
Organisation: Lotterywest
Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: Subiaco
In 2024-25, Lotterywest awarded over $150m in discretionary grants to the Western Australian community. The Grants and Community Development's Evaluation, Research, and Insights (ERI) team are responsible for monitoring and evaluating the impact of Lotterywest’s discretionary grants. In doing so, the team are undertaking an analysis of previously acquitted grants to find common success factors and learnings in grants. This project, the Narrative Impact Analysis, will use grant case studies readily available on Lotterywest's Western Australian Community Impact Hub www.communityimpacthub.wa.gov.au to provide themes on common successes, challenges, and benefits of our grants throughout WA.
We are looking for an enthusiastic intern, with a proactive and curious mind, to conduct the analysis, write-up, and implementation of this project. This project provides the opportunity to develop practical, real-world research skills in a professional setting.
Our ideal candidate will have knowledge of and/or interest in program evaluation and/or qualitative research methods. The project will be used to inform Lotterywest internal and external stakeholders of the success and impact of our grants and will provide recommendations to inform future impact measurement.
We exist to help make an already great state, greater. Every day Lotterywest gives Western Australians a chance to dream by playing a range of lottery games. As well as selling our games and handing out millions of prizes to winners, we are unique in Australia as the only lottery to directly support the community through our grants.
