Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it motivates us to maintain our position as an influential, informed and forceful voice at every level. 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.

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.  It is a genuinely exciting and stimulating environment for someone who cares about research and keeping babies, children and young people safe.
