We are a small group of qualitative and quantitative practitioners.

Using more traditional forms of social research through to innovative digital engagement techniques, the Opinion Research team conducts and commissions research to tell the Mayor of London and policymakers the views and experiences of all Londoners to inform all stages of the policy cycle. We also?provide advice and guidance on how to consult and involve Londoners?to develop policies and strategies. We work closely with policy teams, colleagues in the Strategy and Communications directorate, and the Talk London community team.

About the role

The research will inform the design and delivery of policies and programmes at City Hall. It will provide Londoners a voice and influence through consultation and engagement. A key part of the role is co-ordinating a regular online poll of Londoners. This entails writing questions that answer a brief and interpreting results. Presenting the findings in an unbiased and engaging way is also critical.

As Senior Research Officer, you will build relationships with colleagues across the GLA to identify their research needs. Answering those needs, you will deliver presentations and written reports. These need to be engaging and accessible and incorporate other value-adding survey sources. Findings are shared both within the GLA and externally.

The team does not carry out every project. For some needs, you will support on commissioning a research agency. The role involves procuring suppliers, monitoring spend and ensuring value for money.

The team is always seeking to improve the impact and quality of research at the GLA and across the GLA family. As Senior Research Officer you will ensure that research reflects the diverse needs of London’s communities. You will seek new research methodologies and approaches to sharing insights. You will provide advice and expertise on research design and delivery across the GLA.
