Insight Researcher

3 weeks ago

Bristol, United Kingdom University of Bristol Full time

At Bristol SU we believe that innovative, student-focused research can help us understand and tackle some of the biggest problems facing our members. From the Black Student Attainment Gap to Student Mental Health and Wellbeing, we have been delivering cutting edge research into the experiences of our members and using the insights we’ve gathered to make real change.

As an Insight Researcher, you will deliver innovative, student-focused research that will enable Bristol SU to understand and tackle some of the biggest problems facing our members. Within the Research and Insight Team, you'll design and deliver social research projects that are impactful and credible. The Research and Insight Team works across the Students' Union, and you'll be keen to ensure that all teams are utilising the insights that you're discovering. You'll work with your team to use a range of methodologies to design research and insight projects - from small scale focus groups, to surveys that gather a wealth of data - to understand the experiences and needs of our student members. From the National Student Survey and students' experience of the Welcome Programme to community, campus safety and inclusivity, you’ll conduct robust research and analyse results to support student leaders to lobby and influence. You'll work collaboratively with other researchers in the team to support research, evidence gathering and analysis and you'll be excited to get out on campus to hear directly from students about their experiences.

You don’t have to have worked in higher education or in a students’ union before. But we are looking for someone who can help us ensure that our campaigns and influencing work is based on credible, robust research to ensure we are always evidence based and data driven. You’ll be a passionate researcher, interested in getting to the bottom of experiences and issues that matter to our members. You’ll want to ensure that Bristol SU is at the forefront of using evidence, evaluation and research to improve our services and support our wide-ranging campaigns. You’ll also be experienced when it comes to using qualitative and quantitative research methods and presenting accessible and impactful reports, briefings and communications.

**What’s the job?**:
**Role**: Insight Researcher

**Hours**: 35 Hours per week (part-time applicants welcome)

**Salary**: £25,219- £28,858

**Contract**: 1 year fixed term

**Closing date**: Friday 24 November, 5pm

**Who are we?**:
Part business, part charity, part membership body - Bristol SU is a seriously fun place to work. Our professional staff do something extraordinary every day: we support student leaders to give people a voice in their education, help people get the most out of their student experience and help people make the change they want in the world. We have over 26,000 members, 400 clubs and societies, a diverse range of professional services, and an innovative strategy that will help to create an inclusive and supportive University community.

**What will you bring?**:

- You’ll have experience in designing and delivering surveys and focus groups
- You’ll be able to work collaboratively with others to deliver
- You know how to engage people to take part in research
- You’re a skilled analyst, able to present finding from qualitative and quantitative datasets

**Why apply?**:
Because you’re excited to make a difference

We offer lots of great benefits including enhanced pay for parents taking maternity, adoption or shared parental leave, a competitive salary for the non-profit sector, a generous pension scheme and at least 40 days’ holiday. We’re committed to helping you achieve a healthy work-life balance through flexible working and are open to considering requests for part-time working. We provide professional training so that whatever your chosen field of work, with the right mix of challenge and support, you’ll gain fantastic experience, and room to develop and advance your career.
