This is an exciting opportunity to take a pivotal role in delivering high-impact projects that inform practice and influence decision-makers. As Belong enters its next phase of growth, we are determined to deepen our impact, strengthen our resilience, and champion cohesion and integration at scale.

About Belong
Belong – The Cohesion and Integration Network is the UK’s leading not-for-profit organisation focused on building a more united and less divided society. Established in 2019, we work across sectors to strengthen trust, belonging, and resilience in communities. Through research, policy influence, and place-based programmes, we connect people, places, and organisations to share learning and drive systemic change. Our growing membership spans local authorities, charities, civil society, and businesses. Belong is collaborative, evidence-led, and committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The Role
As Policy and Research Lead, you will design and deliver research and policy projects that inform practice and influence decision-makers. You will produce high-quality outputs, translate evidence into actionable recommendations, and contribute to Belong’s thought leadership. This role combines strategic insight with hands-on delivery and offers the chance to shape national conversations on social cohesion.

    • Ensure projects are inclusive, participatory, and informed by lived experience.
    • Monitor policy developments and contribute to strategic positioning and horizon scanning.
  • Stakeholder Engagement

    • Build and maintain relationships with policymakers, researchers, funders, and sector leaders.
    • Represent Belong at external meetings, events, and networks.
    • Support collaborative research and policy initiatives with partners and commissioners.
    • Contribute to dissemination of Belong’s work through events, media, and digital channels.
  • Internal Collaboration

    • Support the Director of Policy & Research in developing Belong’s policy influencing strategy.
    • Contribute to organisational learning and cross-team collaboration.
    • Assist with proposal development and funder engagement.
    • Line manage junior staff or associates as required.

About You

  • Proven experience in leading policy and applied research programmes.
  • Experience working in or with government, think tanks, or advocacy organisations.
  • Strong analytical and writing skills.
  • Knowledge of cohesion, integration, and community development.
  • Excellent project management and organisational abilities.
  • Familiarity with participatory and inclusive research methods.
  • Experience in income generation or bid development.
  • Relevant qualification in public policy, social research, or related field.
  • Ability to translate complex ideas into accessible messages.
  • Politically aware and intellectually curious.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills.

Personal Qualities

  • Passionate about improving cohesion and integration in the UK.
  • Strategic and solutions-focused.
  • Collaborative and inclusive.
  • Practical, reliable, and detail-oriented.
  • Committed to personal and professional development.
  • Able to thrive in a fast-paced and evolving environment.

Why Join Us?
