Do you have experience of delivering quantitative and qualitative research? Then join Shelter as a Research Officer and you could soon be playing a vital role at the heart of our Research team.

About the role

Working closely with a Senior Research Officer, we’ll rely on you to conduct research and analytical projects from initial concept through to completion. You’ll deliver effective research including designing questionnaires, selecting samples, interviewing respondents, interrogating data and writing up findings. Through your research, you’ll work with a multitude of colleagues in our policy, campaigns, media and public affairs teams to develop and carry out analytical projects in support of Shelter’s strategic priorities.

We’ll rely on you to provide advice and consultancy to Shelter colleagues on all aspects of research, and you’ll undertake analysis on a range of government and independent data sources on housing and homelessness. You’ll represent Shelter’s brand by presenting research findings at conferences, seminars and training events and ensure that our research is properly integrated into the work of our organisation. It’s a really exciting time to join our team and we’re happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth and a place where you can be yourself.

About you

To succeed, you’ll need experience of working in a social research field and have strong skills to manage and analyse data. You’ll also need a good understanding of quantitative and qualitative research methods, plus strong written and verbal communication skills. Knowledge of housing and homelessness issues, whether through work or personal experience, would be useful too, although this not as important as your enthusiasm and genuine interest in this important social issue.

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 works across Shelter to develop innovative research, analytics and insight to identify opportunities to influence, drive policy change and inform Shelter’s strategic direction.

The Research Team carries out a range of work to identify the nature and causes of housing and homelessness problems. This includes primary and secondary research, both conducted in-house and commissioned, into Shelter clients and the even greater number of people in housing need, many of which often don’t seek help. We also try to understand and anticipate future trends using analysis of government policy and economic data. All of this is combined to feed our policy influencing, public campaigning and service design and delivery.

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.

Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.
