As a Researcher, you will be running elements of our research programmes, as well as managing client accounts and providing them with consultancy support. This will include advising charity clients on what the results mean for their organisation and how to make the best of their research.
The Researcher will be a core member of the Public Audiences team, working on our regular tracking research in the UK, Ireland and Canada, as well as on bespoke projects. In practice, this means working on a wide variety of topics and using many different research methodologies to help charities make better decisions. Key topics we cover in our research and outputs include brand, communications, fundraising, reputation and trust.
Many charities subscribe to our regular tracking research, which primarily focuses on research with the general public and MPs. Some charities need more bespoke research, which would involve the team working closely with clients to help understand their needs and to design research projects to meet their objectives. This type of work could include: online surveys to measure people’s attitudes on social issues to influence the development of a campaign; interviews with service users to explore the impact of their services; focus groups to test understanding of a charity’s brand and communication; or supporter satisfaction surveys to understand the motivations and retention of supporters.

We require one day a month in the office at least, though the successful candidate may be expected to work in-office on additional days throughout the year for training or events, etc. nfpResearch operates a 100-90-100 working policy. You will receive 100% of the listed remuneration for working 90% of required hours, provided 100% of your work-load is met.

• Managing elements of the nfpPublic UK research cycle, including creating and updating tracking questionnaires, liaising with suppliers to ensure successful fieldwork, analysis of results and compilation of online dashboards and reports
• Taking on a number of nfpPublic UK client accounts, involving advising clients on question design, carrying out additional data analysis, preparing and presenting at client debriefs including providing recommendations based on the research
• Management of one of our smaller research monitors or supporting management of a second large monitor
• Working on tasks involving more complex statistical analysis of data, using software packages such as Displayr, Q and SPSS
• Writing reports and blogs on our research, analysing our data and explaining what it means for specific clients or the wider charity sector
• Line management of one of our Research Assistants or Research Officers
