Job Details

We are looking for an outstanding person to recruit for the position of Senior Policy Researcher in the Future Energy Services team at Citizens Advice. A critical part of our work is making sure that markets work well for consumers, particularly those in vulnerable situations. We are looking for exceptional candidates who can help us to shine a light on the issues facing energy consumers today and in the future. The energy market is rapidly changing and it’s vital that people are at the heart of plans to reach net zero carbon emissions.

We’re an organisation with a relentless focus on making society fairer. Each year we help 2.8 million people to solve their problems face to face and see over 34.5m visits to our website. This data and our reputation give us unparalleled influence. We have a unique insight into emerging trends and issues affecting people, and we use it to work with government, regulators and industry to improve people's lives.

Citizens Advice is the statutory advocate for energy consumers. We use research and evidence from the people who contact our advice service every day to understand the problems facing energy consumers in Great Britain. We help solve these problems by engaging with industry, changing policy and supporting consumers to navigate the market. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the energy team, as well as our data, public affairs, campaigns and media teams to maximise impact for energy consumers.

You’ll be joining a team that gets to the heart of complex challenges facing the energy market. The Future Energy Services team works across the multiple energy policy issues that impact on people’s homes – including low carbon heat, fuel poverty, energy efficiency, data and smart energy products/services. As a senior member of the team you will lead on key policy areas, designing and delivering major research and influencing projects from start to finish, while supporting junior members of the team to reach their potential.

Our strong brand will give you unique opportunities to engage with those who have the power to make change. You’ll influence regulators, MPs, civil servants, industry on behalf of energy consumers and the people who rely on Citizens Advice.
