We are looking for someone who is committed to collaborative, inclusive and participatory practice. As part of the research team, you will also be supported to develop in relation to our compassionate and relationship-centred ways of working.Join us and you’ll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You’ll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that’ll bring the best out in you.

Competency-based interview questions will be shared in advance, in line with the NSPCC’s inclusive recruitment approach.Please NoteThe NSPCC places significant value on the lived experience that employees and volunteers might bring to the organisation and recognises the knowledge and skills that this may contribute in support of our mission to safeguard and protect children.As an organisation we are on a path to becoming more trauma-informed and one aspect of this includes acknowledging the impact that this work may have on our people. In recognition of this, we have an employee and volunteer assistance programme that offers support to all our staff.Sometimes people would like to work for the NSPCC because they have experienced abuse and neglect or have seen the impact of abuse or neglect on a friend or family member. We want to make you aware that if you share anything in your application that makes us worried about the safety and wellbeing of a child or yourself, we might have to ask some more questions for clarity. We may get in touch with you about this to ask these questions, but if we do, this will be separate from any contact about the job role. Depending on the outcome of our discussion, we may have to pass on this information on to our managers and the NSPCC Helpline. Anything shared with us is separate to the recruitment process.
