Overview
About Scope We’re the disability equality charity. We won&39;t stop until we achieve a society where all disabled people enjoy equality and fairness. At home. At school. At work. In our communities. We provide practical advice and emotional support whenever people need it most. We use our collective power to change attitudes and end injustice. And we campaign relentlessly to create a fairer society. About the role As a Lead Researcher, you will be at the centre of Scope’s major research project Our Lives Our Journey (OLOJ), a ground-breaking qualitative longitudinal study which involves qualitative in-depth interviews with 80 people over five years. The findings from this project will support the development of our policy, campaigns and services helping to ensure Scope is an evidence-led organisation, improving our offering to disabled people and their families, whilst delivering social change. The project is currently in its second wave, and interviews are ongoing. This role will also include supporting research more widely across a broad range of projects conducted by the research team at Scope – from Scope’s Big Hack project addressing inclusive design to our ground-breaking Price Tag analysis unpicking the financial impact of the extra cost of disability. This role is an ideal point for anyone wishing to progress their research career within a sector-leading charity and will provide exposure and development opportunities across a range of areas. About you The ideal candidate will have experience of conducting qualitative interviews, coding and analysis (utilising coding software, such as NVivo or Dedoose) report writing, and publishing/dissemination. You will be responsible for at least one (of four) cohorts within the OLOJ project, taking ownership of everything from data collection to presenting findings to internal and external stakeholders. The role, whilst supported by a small team of four, requires you to work with a high degree of pro-activity and independence. What we offer In return we offer an attractive benefits package including 27 days&39; holiday, pension scheme and discounts at restaurants, gyms, shops and more. Please apply in writing with your CV and covering letter fully detailing your suitability for the role. Closig date for applications: 7 April 2020.
