Research Manager - Education
Research Manager
£38,000 - £44,000 base salary + bonus
Generous pension, private healthcare options, 28 days annual leave and other enhanced company benefits.
Central London based, 2 days a week in the office and flexible working hours.
Social Research, Quantitative, Qualitative, Policy Evaluation
We are working with a highly respected research consultancy, who help their partners across the public, private and charity sectors. They are a full-service, mixed methods agency who are looking to hire a Research Manager in their Education team.
We are looking for researchers with experience within and across:
- Education, Learning and Skills (employer research, apprenticeships, school research and local government initiatives)
- Higher Education (government department policy research on how to evaluation and inform HE policy, student research)
Within the role, you will manage on a number of high-profile studies as well as working on and learning from more senior members of the team on complex projects.
It's a great opportunity to advance your people and project management skills, with support from Directors and the senior leadership team. You will be involved in full-service primary research such as questionnaire design to facilitating focus groups. This role is mixed method but will have a slight lean on quantitative methods.
Experience with policy evaluation research is a bonus here too. Evaluations tend to be for UK Government (DfE, DLUHC, MOJ, BEIS, DWP) or smaller bodies across Youth and Employment charities.
It's an opportunity to work on an incredibly interesting range of projects, for clients with hugely different interests and investments in the studies. For example, this could be addressing teacher workloads, pupil mental health to employment options for people partaking in higher education courses.
It's a chance to work on large and important projects for society but for a mid-sized agency (rather than a large corporate organisation). They are frequent finalists / winners in the MRS awards, including Best Place to Work and Best Agency of the Year.
Please apply for next steps. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and actively seek to embrace diversity across age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, race, religion, and sex.
For successful applicants, a recruitment consultant will be in touch via email to schedule a briefing call. We will explain the role in more detail and share the company details before creating a formal application.
Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
