Senior Consultant – Public engagement/social research

Salary estimate: £40,000 pa plus a pension contribution of 7% (employer contribution). Annual holiday entitlement is 38 days (including the usual public holidays).

Location: We have an office in London, but our staff are dispersed and live in cities and towns across the UK.

Contract: Permanent - Our full-time hours are 35 hours a week, we are fully equipped to support home office working and are happy to talk flexible/part-time working.

We’re looking to recruit a Senior Consultant (researcher) to join our growing team. A highly autonomous role, you will be responsible for the management and coordination of teams responsible for the full project cycle including the design of surveys, the processing and analysis of data and compiling data outputs into reports. You will be the first point of contact for clients and partners and responsible for ensuring your projects run on time and on budget.

Senior Consultants are also responsible for building and maintaining external partnerships and supporting senior colleagues with new business generation and writing proposals for winning new work.

Being part of the Traverse team is about variety. In the space of a month we can go from talking to patients about their experience of video appointments with a GP, to running a focus group with construction industry trainees about sexism, to riding in a self-driving car with a group of citizens to help them think about new traffic laws. The common thread is that we want to involve people in the decisions that affect their lives.

We are aware that many highly capable prospective candidates may rule themselves out of work of this kind because they underestimate their own ability to do the role. With this in mind, we strongly encourage applications from anyone who is prepared to learn and grow on the job and would like to stress that a degree and/or experience of working in research is not an essential requirement.

Interested? More details about us and the role can be found here: Recruitment Job Pack. There is also information on how to apply and who to contact if you have any questions. Please complete this Application Form if you are interested. Deadline – 26 March, but please note, we will be interviewing candidates on a rolling recruitment basis which means we may close the application process before the deadline. We look forward to hearing from you.
