Policy isn’t working. Come help us fix it.

We’re in the middle of the biggest cost of living crisis in living memory. The energy market is in meltdown. Benefit claimants are facing real terms cuts as inflation soars. More people are coming to us for crisis support than at any time on record.

Winter will be cruel. We’re in a race against time for the kind of policy response this crisis needs - from government, from regulators and from businesses. And it hasn’t come yet.

Come and help us fix this!

We’ve been pretty successful over the past few years - our campaigning work has put billions of pounds back in people’s pockets. One thing that makes us different is that we don’t just talk about policy. Our work is based on real people’s experiences, and it changes real people’s lives. Every year millions of people come to Citizens Advice for help. That means no one has a better insight into how bad policy affects people’s lives.

And we’re not afraid to raise the topics that aren’t always on the front pages. In the last few months alone, we’ve sounded the alarm on racially discriminatory insurance prices, spoken up for people with no recourse to public funds, and raised red flags about the growing use of buy-now-pay-later products to cover essentials.

But the challenge is huge. We only succeed when we find the right people.

This is where you come in. We’re looking for talented Policy Research Assistants to join our policy teams.

We don’t mind if you have any prior policy experience. A lot of us do but some of our best people in the past have come from teaching, the NHS, consultancies - in one case, the actual circus. What we want is a curious mind.

We offer a culture where flexibility is the rule, not the exception. We really, really don’t care if you live in London. Our people are based across the country - in London, Leeds, Birmingham and Cardiff, in our offices or at their kitchen tables.

And how and when you do the job is completely up to you. Most of us work flexible hours. Lots of us are part-time. Some of us job-share. Our people are our biggest asset so we build our work around you.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from, LGB and Trans and non binary candidates.

We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in role profiles.

Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

Our commitment to flexible working extends to where we work. As Covid restrictions ease, Citizens Advice are moving towards a permanent mix of office and home based working which will give much more choice to staff, while still maintaining the best of collaborative working.

The National Citizens Advice Operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales.

Please be aware that Citizens Advice is not a sponsoring organisation. Therefore the successful applicant must already possess the right to work in the UK or be able to secure the right to work in the UK independently.

Citizens Advice seeks to redeploy staff who are at risk or under notice of redundancy where they satisfactorily demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the role at interview.  Candidates who are formally at risk or under notice of redundancy will take priority over other candidates for interview.  If you have been confirmed as at risk or under notice of redundancy please ensure you indicate this in the at-risk box in your application.

​​​​​​​In the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early.

This vacancy closes at 23.59 on the closing date.
