Do you have proven experience of leading qualitative and quantitative research projects, ideally relating to housing or social justice? Do you want an exciting, varied role that includes lived experience co-production, survey design, statistical analysis and more? Then join Shelter as Senior Research Officer and you could soon be doing research that spearheads our fight for home.
About the role
The main objectives of the role are:
- To plan, manage and carry out quantitative and qualitative research to support Shelter’s policy, campaigns and public affairs work, and provide research and data to support fundraising.
- To support colleagues across the organisation in identifying opportunities and developing projects which meet our research needs
- To provide effective line management
About you
We’re looking for an experienced researcher to provide project oversight and line management within our Research Team. You will be expected to have experience in researching social policy and a good understanding of the appropriate qualitative and quantitative research methods. It would be desirable – but not required – to have a strong awareness of the housing and homelessness research area.
Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
About the team
The Research Team produces innovative research to understand the nature and causes of housing and homelessness problems. Our work helps Shelter develop great policy and high impact campaigns, as well as supporting the charity’s fundraising and service development activities.
We carry out primary and secondary research, both in-house and commissioned, with Shelter clients and the even greater number of people in housing need, many of which often don’t seek help. The team is externally recognised as the go-to organisation for credible, robust and insightful evidence and analysis on housing issues. And, as part of Shelter’s belief in the power of communities to effect change, we work closely with our campaigning hubs across England to support grassroots and lived experience-led research.
Any applications submitted without a cover letter will not be considered.
About Shelter
Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.
We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.
Safeguarding statement
Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.
