Join us as a Senior Research and Evaluation Officer within the Research and Evidence team and play your part in leading progress that makes a real difference to the lives of babies, children and young people.
What kind of research does the NSPCC Research and Evidence team do?
The NSPCC Research and Evidence team carries out, commissions and partners on high quality social research. We seek to answer big and small questions around preventing and stopping child abuse, and how to support children who have experienced it.
- Our research is child-centred, meaningful and useful - it drives improvements to our work with children, families and communities, influences the development of policy and guidance, and contributes to new NSPCC campaigns, as well as adding to the wider evidence base.
- We also support research activity at NSPCC via our Research Advice Clinic, Evidence Summary Service, and the NSPCC Research Ethics Committee.
What will the job involve?
This is an exciting and varied role for a researcher with excellent project management skills. You'll be working with colleagues in departments across the NSPCC including Childline, Policy and Public Affairs, Knowledge and Information, Schools services and Participation. Current projects we're working on include research on technology assisted online sexual extortion, sex and relationships education at secondary and primary levels, problematic sexual behaviour and provision of services to tackle loneliness, to name just a few.
Specifically, the role will involve:
- Designing and project managing research on a wide range of NSPCC research projects.
- Liaising with internal and external stakeholders to develop research projects and advising other teams in the NSPCC about how to carry out robust and ethical research.

- Qualitative and quantitative research methods, including participatory fieldwork methods
- What makes research, particularly research with children, safe and ethical.
Looking for a team that is passionate about what it does?
You'll be part of the team of friendly and talented researchers. We're quite a big team, which is great for diversity in thought and practice. There are things we all have in common though, namely a passion for doing excellent work that makes a difference to children and a commitment to showing care for each other and those involved in our research through trauma-informed practice and inclusive approaches. We put children at the heart of our work and, in line with the NSPCC's strategic goals, we listen to and take their views and ideas into account wherever we can.
As a senior researcher you'll no doubt have a thirst for the acquisition of knowledge! The NSPCC provides rich and varied opportunities for this, both through interactions with inspiring colleagues and via structured learning and development opportunities.

We pride ourselves on being a values-driven organisation, and we’re looking for a likeminded fundraiser to join the team in this new role.
Blending storytelling with statistics, events management with stakeholder engagement, and research with data protection, this varied role would be ideal for someone with an interest in criminal justice who communicates as well in person as they do on paper.
You don’t need to have been a fundraiser before, but experience in a similar position – with that mix of relationship building, words and numbers – would be beneficial.
Research tells us that marginalised groups of people may not apply for jobs unless they meet 100% of the criteria. We also know that fundraisers come from many backgrounds with different experiences that might not seem “standard” – and that’s okay! We value people who bring unique perspectives and knowledge to our team.
You might not feel like you check all the boxes as you read this job pack. That could be because of impostor syndrome or a confidence gap, especially if you’ve been marginalised or excluded in the past. But we hope you’ll apply anyway because what’s most important to us is having shared values and attitudes to work – the rest we can work on through our culture of feedback and development.

The Role
Each day you will travel to different venues, set up an attractive fundraising stand, and spend the day actively engaging with members of the public, spreading awareness about our conservation efforts and inspiring individuals to become lifelong members.
Don't worry if you're not a wildlife expert yet – you will be provided with comprehensive training to equip you with all the knowledge you need. Plus, you'll enjoy the added perk of a company van, with fuel and parking costs paid for.
What's even better? You'll have the flexibility to choose a contract between 3 to 5 days per week, and enjoy the stability of a set salary, rather than working on commission. With 34 days of annual leave (including bank holidays) and opportunities for sabbaticals, we value your work-life balance and well-being.

‘Securing a membership is always a great feeling that stays with you. Being able to talk about things you are passionate about and learn a lot about wildlife is a real plus.’ Fun, challenging, requires resilience, great colleagues.’ - Membership Fundraiser - Current Employee
But it's not just about the benefits – it's about the impact you'll make. Join a team that's dedicated to preserving nature and inspiring others to do the same. Your role will be pivotal in driving positive change, and you'll have the support of a diverse and inclusive community every step of the way.
