Join the Team
Research & Analysis Manager
Do you think everyone across the UK should live in a place where people and nature thrive? So do we – let’s talk.
Centre for Thriving Places (CTP) is a globally recognised leader in the practical application of wellbeing economics and supporting places to create the conditions for people and planet to thrive. We’re looking for a new Research & Analysis Manager, to work with our team to play a key role in supporting various areas of work – see the Job Description here for more details.
We are looking for someone with at least 6 years’ experience of working in a research and analysis role, with a primary focus on quantitative research and data. You should be confident working with a diverse range of data and evidence, including large-scale social surveys and official statistics.
You will be comfortable with an open and flexible approach to work, and working alone. We are a small, remote team and you may be required at times to work in areas or sectors, or grow into new areas/sectors in which you are not familiar. We require someone authentic who is comfortable not always having all the answers, but is willing to proactively search for them in a collaborative way.
We would value experience and interest in one or more of the following areas: health and wellbeing; equality and inclusion; climate and environment; community wellbeing; housing, place-making and regeneration; education and skills; employment and local economy.
You may also have research experience relating to wellbeing or new economics, have worked in local government, policy, or place-based change (e.g. in local authority or other local statutory infrastructure, community or VCS organisation, related think-tank or policy organisation, related consultancy). While experience at a place-level isn’t essential, you should have a strong interest in how to create systems change at a local level and desire to improve the lives of people across the different parts of the UK.
If you are looking to have a positive impact while working on diverse projects and with a range of partners, showcasing and continuing to develop your research expertise, then this is the role for you.
Our team may be small, but the values that underpin our work make us a tight knit unit: we are rigorous and practical champions of people and systems; we share skills and experience positively and generously and courage is the hallmark of our approach to building a wellbeing economy. If you think this measures up to a dream job for you, take a look at the full job description here, including the terms and salary offer.
We are committed to making CTP a more diverse and inclusive organisation that actively tackles issues of exclusion, disempowerment and discrimination. If you feel you may be suited to this role but don’t meet all the essential criteria, still get in touch on hello@centreforthrivinplaces.org for an informal chat. Please help us to monitor our reach by completing this anonymous diversity form.

Deadline for applications: 17:00 BST on 29th July 2024
