Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive by making our borough the best place to live, work, study, and visit. We’re not just home to the UK's fastest-growing economy — we’re focused on creating a borough in which everyone can live a good life and nobody gets left behind.

We have a clear vision - to organise the right people and skills around challenges (like our missions) to deliver the best outcomes for Camden residents and renewal after the pandemic.

Camden has a proud, rebellious spirit that throughout its history has seen communities come together to tackle problems and bring about real social change. We’re willing to be bold and try new things in the process.

We’re looking for a Senior Research Officer who is curious, analytical, creative and who wants to develop leadership skills and bring together different disciplines to work towards a shared goal, supporting the organisation in improving people’s lives. You will also be creative in bringing together different types of information to tell a story and flexible to change their approach as they learn, to test things out and adapt what doesn’t work.

In this role you will be part of the Insight, Learning and Impact team delivering key products such as the State of the Borough report, quarterly corporate ILI reports, the Good Life Camden framework and data dashboard and other demographic data products, as well as developing monitoring and evaluation frameworks for Council priority work such as the We Make Camden Missions.

You will have a creative, problem-solving mindset and be comfortable with working on complex ideas and issues where there’s no easy answer. You will have Data and Research experience which include primary data collection, social research methods, delivering evaluations, and quantitative and qualitative research methods.

The Senior Research Officer will report to the Head of Insight, Learning and Impact.

The postholder will need to work some part of each week in the office (5 Pancras Square) as determined in regular discussions with their line manager and project teams.
