In this role you would:

• Moderate focus groups and immersive research projects, both online and in-person across the country. We expect there to be a significant amount of domestic travel in this role with the potential of international travel as we continue to grow. All our staff receive training before conducting qualitative research.
• Manage the delivery of qualitative research projects as stand alone or within wider pieces of work with limited oversight. You will be confident liaising with colleagues from other teams within Public First as well as clients.
• Lead on research design, including writing discussion guides, and conducting analysis and writing up findings.
• Manage the organisation of qualitative research across the company, recruiting focus groups, planning immersives and supporting the administration of team processes.
• Contribute ideas and continually think about how to innovate our qualitative research offering.
• Conduct desk research on specific policies, projects or parts of the country.
