HMI Prisons is looking for two Research Assistants to join the Research, Data & Thematics (RDT) team. The role is full-time, with a salary of £32,416 – £34,361.

About The Role 
These posts offer a unique opportunity to develop practical social research skills as part of a close-knit team working in a fast-paced environment. 

Much of the day-to-day work of the Research, Data & Thematics (RDT) team involves conducting surveys in places of detention and analysing the results for use by inspectors.  Reporting to one of our Research Officers, the post holders will also help to maintain HMIP’s databases, provide analysis for thematic and other reports, and act as an ambassador for the Inspectorate while on inspections.  To carry out surveys, the job involves time away from home, on average 1-2 nights per fortnight.

These roles start from August and are open to all, including those in their final year of university.
