Role Overview
As a Research Programme Assistant, you'll be playing a central role in supporting our research teams delivering our ambitious research programme that focuses on finding and testing solutions which help to make a difference to low- and moderate income households.

You will be working closely with our programme manager, project teams, research suppliers and research participants to work on logistics and administration, participant recruitment and participant experience, research payment management and project management support across several key research projects. 

Experience with participant recruitment, a passion to deliver a positive research experience for people who take part in our research and exceptional organisational and attention to detail are essential for this role. This role also offers plenty of opportunity to get involved with other aspects of research, so this role may well suit someone who has come from a participant recruitment agency and is keen to get more research experience.

This is a fixed-term contract of six month to one year to cover a period of parental leave (dependent on when the current employee returns to work). The ideal candidate will be able to start in August. 

We are open to discussing working patterns.

We welcome all internal applicants to apply for our roles, regardless of your current working pattern or hours. We will aim to accommodate your request and match your current working arrangements.

Don't worry if you think you don't have all the key skills, it might be worth taking the few minutes to apply as we're good at spotting potential and offer a generous training budget.
