About the role

These will also inform the design and dissemination of the #EverydayInequality COVID-19 Survey.

A vital part of the role is to empower those traditionally unheard and overlooked groups to tell their stories and challenge inequality by doing so. In addition, we want to understand more comprehensively what those experiencing the sharp end of inequality would like to change, and what policy, social or corporate improvements they would call for. The postholder will also grow the representation and participation of citizens in campaigns and politics as well as mapping the new trends in inequality that are COVID-19 related. We recognise that intersectionality is a complex part of how individuals have experienced inequality and COVID-19 and we are keen to draw this out in our research.

• Supporting the organisation to develop the #EverydayInequality COVID-19 survey.

• Writing and/or managing the writing of reports and articles.
• Supporting the organisation to respond to requests from a range of stakeholders that may include the media, policy makers, civil servants, Equality Trust supporters and local groups.

About you 

Essential experience:

• Track record of engaging people from diverse backgrounds in research and campaigning activities.
• Experienced in conducting qualitative research interviews, workshops and ability to support others to do so as peer researchers.
• Experienced in monitoring and evaluating the impact of participation work
• Experience of working effectively as part of a small team.

Abilities and Skills:

• Strong research and analytical skills, including analysing qualitative and quantitative data and information from a wide range of sources.
• Strong knowledge of inequalities and intersectionality
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• A team player with a ‘can-do’ attitude
• Proactive with initiative, actively seeking information from internal or external sources as required
• Good interpersonal skills, ability to empathise, influence and collaborate with a range of internal and external stakeholders, in a sensitive manner.
• Knowledge of, or interest in, social policy or social epidemiology, ideally relating to communities, health, education, criminality, and/or social inequalities and intersectionality.
• Deadline driven, able to remain calm in the face of several simultaneous deadlines
• Strong IT skills and ability to update a website and use Excel.
• Meticulous attention to detail
• Willingness and ability to work flexible hours when needed, for which TOIL will be given
