We are a young and fast-growing independent research consultancy which puts public and stakeholder opinion at the heart of our clients' thinking. Our research methodologies span all qualitative and quantitative techniques, and we have a diverse client base across the private, public and third sectors. We strongly encourage all potential applicants to take a look at our website for more information about who we are and what we do, including some previous reports.
We are looking for a bright, enthusiastic and hard-working intern to provide logistical support across the full range of our research projects and administrative support in the office. Interns at BritainThinks gain exposure to all elements of our work, including attending client meetings, seeing focus groups and workshops live in action, and feeding in to the brainstorming and analysis process.
This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to embark on a career in social and market research or in communications. We also have a strong track record of bringing on our best-performing interns as permanent members of the team.
