About us: Drinkaware is a leading charity concerned with reducing harm from alcohol. We do this by providing impartial, evidence-based information, advice, and practical resources; raising awareness of alcohol harms; and working in partnership with others to deliver behaviour change through our tools and interventions. The Trust is funded primarily through voluntary, unrestricted donations from alcohol producers, wholesalers, and on- and off-trade retailers, but acts entirely independently.
If you’re passionate about making a difference and thrive in a role where no two days are the same, we’d love to hear from you.
About the role: As a Research Officer, you’ll play an important role in strengthening how we use data and evidence across the organisation. Working within our Insights team, you’ll support the generation, analysis, and application of research to inform decision-making, improve programmes, and enhance our impact.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting evidence reviews and producing clear, accessible briefings.
- Supporting analysis of survey data and contributing to high-quality research reports.
- Assisting with the design and delivery of primary research, including surveys and evaluations.
- Helping colleagues across the organisation to understand and apply data and evidence in their work.
- Reviewing website content to ensure it is accurate, well-sourced, and accessible.
- Supporting the development of presentations and materials for internal and external audiences.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with both data and people, and who wants to see research translated into meaningful real-world outcomes.
About you: We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. You’ll bring:
- A MSc level degree (or equivalent experience) in a relevant area, with knowledge of research methods and basic statistical techniques.
- Experience working with qualitative and quantitative data in Excel and in programs such as SPSS, or R.
- Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with the ability to synthesise complex information.
- Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to present findings to a range of audiences.
- A collaborative and proactive approach, alongside strong organisational skills.
- An interest in behaviour change, impact measurement, or emerging tools such as AI is welcomed but not essential.
If you meet most of the criteria and are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply.
Why join us? At Drinkaware, we value our people and offer a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. You’ll enjoy:
- Hybrid Working (two days a week in the office)
- 30 days annual leave (plus Bank Holidays)
- Bupa health cover
- Matched company pension scheme
- Life assurance cover
- Wellbeing and learning grants
- Perks and discounts platform
