The Difference is looking for a Research Manager to help shape national conversations on inclusion, lost learning and school belonging.
Working across our research, practice and policy functions, you’ll lead qualitative research with schools, multi-academy trusts and local authorities, produce influential publications, convene sector leaders around emerging areas of practice, and generate evidence that informs policy and improves outcomes for vulnerable children.
This role would suit an experienced researcher who is equally comfortable delivering in-depth research projects and responding quickly to fast-moving policy developments. You’ll combine strong analytical skills with excellent writing, stakeholder engagement and project management.
Join us at a pivotal moment for inclusion in England’s schools and help drive our mission to reduce lost learning nationally by 2030.
Hybrid, with 50% office presence in Bethnal Green, London.
