Current vacancies

Senior Researcher (Research and Insight)

  • Full time
  • £40,788
  • Hybrid: Dunfermline
  • Closing 27th January 2025

Carnegie UK is excited to be recruiting two new roles to join our policy team, focusing on research and data – this role is for a new Senior Researcher (Research and Insight).

We are a charitable trust and have been working to improve wellbeing in the UK and Ireland for over 100 years. We seek to influence public policy and practice at a systemic level, building on robust evidence and research to argue for change.

In 2021 we published our new strategy which updated how we work. We are focussed on improving collective wellbeing: ensuring everyone has what they need to live well now and in the future.

Our dual strategic aims are to tackle threats to wellbeing and to put wellbeing at the heart of decision making. For this role we are looking for someone with the skills and experience to work across a range of research projects and be able to generate insights around this to help us to build a compelling body of evidence and policy insight in support of these aims.

This is an opportunity for a proven researcher to work at the interface between data, research, public policy and practice to help generate useful insights. The post holder will work across the UK and Ireland, helping us to understand and advance the kind of policy and practice changes needed to make a difference to people’s lives.

For this role we are looking for someone with demonstrable research experience who is likely to be a mixed methods researcher with experience of qualitative and quantitative research to join our team. The successful candidate will have an excellent awareness of quality assurance practice and a desire to learn more about wellbeing.

Carnegie UK offers a flexible and supportive working environment and exceptional terms and conditions. We operate a 35-hour working week and provide 5 paid days each year for volunteering. We aim for staff to spend two days a week (currently two days across Monday to Wednesday) together in Andrew Carnegie House in Dunfermline but recognise that this may not always be possible every week.

If you have the experience we are looking, then we’d love to hear from you.
