At M·E·L Research, we want to create a better future where everybody has a voice, can achieve their potential and live a fulfilled life. Our vision is to make a positive difference to organisations, employees, customers, and wider society. This forms the ‘bedrock’ of our purpose and we empower our employees to help achieve what we believe in, all underpinned by a strong set of values and behaviours.

As a boutique social research agency with over 35 years’ experience of working for a rich variety of public and voluntary sector organisations, we deliver expertise and solutions through research, evaluation and behavioural insights.

Given sustained growth we are looking to strengthen our research and evaluation team, by appointing a Qualitative Researcher (at a Senior Research Manager/Associate Director level), with a strong focus on project management and client management skills. 

ou may be a social researcher already or currently be operating in a commercial setting and looking to transition to public/third sector research.

Most important is your passions and motivations for being a researcher – we want someone who cares about research that has a social purpose and feels a strong connection and alignment to our purpose, vision and values.  To that end having a wider perspective on society and the world would be a key advantage.

The starting salary will be dependent on experience, but we expect the selected candidate to be appointed on a salary range between £37,000 to £45,000 per annum.

We operate flexible working arrangements and remote working that supports candidates in their application process.
