4 months ago
**We are looking to recruit bright, motivated graduates to our Stockport office. The role offers hybrid working, combining time in the office with home-working and time with clients/on fieldwork.**
Public policy can shape a better society. SQW informs public policy through high quality research, analysis and insight. This includes researching how economies work and change, how research and innovation can be encouraged and exploited, how businesses start-up and grow and the role of business support schemes, and what works in social policy including addressing health inequalities, enhancing people’s employment prospects and supporting skills.
This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the UK’s leading economic development consultancies, helping our clients to design, deliver and evaluate national and local policy. You will join our Research Consultant Development Programme, which provides structure and support to boost your professional development during the first two years. The programme offers training and opportunities to network with your peers in other offices and work with colleagues at all levels in SQW.
We have specific expertise in a range of policy areas and there are opportunities to work across all areas. These include: innovation and business growth; spatial and local economic development; education, skills and employment; and health and social care. Recent examples of projects across these areas include the following:
- _Innovation and business growth_: evaluations of four Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund programmes covering manufacturing, food production, foundation industries and precision medicine; evaluations of business support programmes led by the British Business Bank and Be The Business; research on what works in enhancing the diversity of VC investment; and an evaluation of a programme encouraging student engagement in Knowledge Exchange activities.
- _Spatial and local economic development_: evaluations of City, Devolution and Growth Deals in thirteen localities across the UK; the development of new economic strategies in Oxfordshire, Dudley, Denbighshire and Coventry and Warwickshire; a ‘Jet Zero’ cluster study in Surrey and Hampshire; and the development of new housing development appraisal guidance.
- _Education, skills and employment_: evaluations of the Work and Health programmes in Greater Manchester and London; research into the impact of involvement by young people in youth activities; research for a national charity on international best practice in work experience for school-age students; and skills and labour market analyses for Skills Development Scotland.
- _Health and social care_: a rapid evidence review on improvement cultures in health and adult social care settings; an evaluation of a programme looking to improve the use of data analytics within social care; an evaluation of a Specialist Mental Health Pharmacists Training Pathway; and a review of the ‘Covid chats’ programme in Manchester which was established to help understand barriers to and motivations for vaccination during the pandemic.
**Research Consultants** play an important role in SQW’s project teams, working on a wide variety of assignments. Your work will typically include:
- quantitative data analysis, including analysis of socio-economic statistics, survey findings, and administrative and proprietary data (e.g. business datasets, health and education records, longitudinal surveys)
- undertaking literature and policy reviews
- qualitative data analysis of evidence, including from bespoke primary research and document reviews
- undertaking primary research including interviews, consultations, workshops and focus groups (e.g. with service users, businesses, public bodies)
- contributing to report writing, and the visualisation and presentation of research findings
- engagement in internal team meetings and discussions, and client meetings and presentations.
There are opportunities to make a real contribution to the business and help our clients shape national and local policy early on in your career with us.
You will be ambitious and work to very high standards, whilst taking responsibility for your own development in a supportive and challenging environment where you will enjoy variety and continuous learning.
You will have a minimum of a 2.1 first degree in a discipline such as economics, politics, geography or science. A Master’s degree in a relevant discipline is desirable. The role requires strong analytical, written and communication skills, sound IT skills, and abilities to work collaboratively and manage your time effectively.
We offer an excellent remuneration package which includes:
- Competitive basic salary
- Performance related bonus
- Flexible working
- Contributory pension scheme with up to 5% matching contributions
- Permanent Health Insurance and Death in Service
- Flexible benefits options, which include private health and dental schemes for individuals
