You’ll build up your qualitative methodological toolkit, which includes in-depth interviews, focus groups, literature reviews, workshops, and online communities. All projects within the agency are mixed methods, so you’ll have exposure to quantitative analysis and survey design.

An accredited Inclusive employer, they offer a collaborative culture and progressive benefits to ensure that their people can thrive personally and professionally and that everyone feels safe, heard and valued;
