nfpSynergy delivers research, insights and expertise to help non-profits understand their audiences and make informed strategic decisions.

We use a range of research and consultancy skills to help charities find out exactly what they need to know. We speak to over 30,000 people a year about non-profits. With over 15 years of experience and vital trend data, we help charities collate, analyse and understand the opinions of their key audiences and integrate them into their work. We have already helped over 150 charities in a vast range of ways, including understanding supporter journeys, segmenting their audiences and evaluating and improving services for the people who need them.

Non-profits of all sizes and areas have benefited from our work, including three quarters of the UK’s top 50 fundraising brands. We have also written over 100 popular free reports and presentations on the major issues facing the sector.

In practice, this means working on a wide variety of topics and using many different research methodologies to help charities make better decisions. Key topics we cover in our research and outputs include brand, communications, fundraising, reputation and trust. Many charities subscribe to our regular tracking research, which primarily focus on research with the general public and MPs. Some charities need more bespoke research, which would involve the team working closely with clients to help understand their needs and to design research projects to meet their objectives. This type of work could include: online surveys to measure people’s attitudes on social issues to influence the development of a campaign; interviews with service users to explore the impact of their services; focus groups to test awareness of a charity’s brand and communication; or supporter satisfaction surveys to understand the motivations and retention of supporters.

• Working on the Charity Awareness Monitor, as well as on other trend research, including the Charity Parliamentary Monitor or the Charity Brand Evaluator
• Provide support on bespoke projects, ranging from assisting with qualitative projects such as focus groups/interviews to quantitative projects such as supporter surveys or segmentations
• Supporting the research team on tasks such as preparing client presentations, compiling and proofreading reports, setting up and scripting of online surveys, data entry and invoicing
• Attending, and eventually presenting at, client and pitch meetings
• Dealing with client requests, including additional data analysis
• Organising review meetings and project feedback which takes place after each project
• Some tasks involving more complex statistical analysis of data
• Assist in marketing and raising the profile of the team/company, and take on sales responsibilities, such as phoning potential clients and talking about the benefits of our research
• Providing core administrative support for the team and across the company. Assisting the Office Manager in tasks such as nfpSynergy event preparation, covering the front desk and keeping the library in good order

Who we are looking for:

This post would be ideally suited to a graduate who wants to gain knowledge and experience in market/social research and has an interest in the not-for-profit sector.

The post holder could have skills and experience in a variety of different areas. Some of the things we like to see in our staff:
