Are you interested in behaviour change and using your analytical skills to create a world in which resources are used sustainably? Are you interested in influencing citizen behaviour change interventions or, public-facing campaigns? Are you looking for a graduate role with a clear career progression path? Then we would love to hear from you. We are looking to recruit Junior Analysts to join our Policy and Insights Team. In this team, they generate the evidence-based solutions we need to protect the environment, build stronger economies and support more sustainable societies. Our impact spans the entire life cycle of the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the products we buy, from production to consumption and beyond.
Using your behavioural science knowledge, you will support the team to; diagnose problematic citizen behaviours, analyse barriers and facilitators, suggest appropriate intervention, or campaign strategies, and evaluate pilots and campaigns.
Some of your first activities are likely to focus on further developing the strong evidence base that informs WRAPs citizen behaviour change programme, supporting both quantitative and qualitative consumer research, campaign and behaviour change evaluation, and key research to inform UK policy. WRAP will provide an exciting opportunity in a stimulating environment where you will see the impact of your research as you influence prominent initiatives that bring about real change.
When applying for the role, you’ll be asked to describe how you meet the following job essentials:
Experience of carrying out research, evidence gathering and analysis of large datasets to achieve valuable insight.
Undertaken and attained a degree qualification in discipline involving numerical skills or research methods application or relevant significant experience that allows you to demonstrate ability to gathering and data analysis data and information.
You should also be able to demonstrate evidence of building and maintaining effective relationships within a team or working group.
You might be pleased to know that we’re changing our approach to office-based working. Although this role is contractually based at one of our offices (Banbury, Cardiff or Belfast), in reality you will be able to work from home, with the caveat of coming into the office to collaborate with your teams as and when you need to. You, your manager and your teams will have the freedom to decide when this will need to happen, but when it is agreed it will be important that you do attend the office. If you are invited for an interview, this can be discussed in more detail.
About WRAP
The way we live today is damaging our planet. It’s a fact.
The world currently uses 1.7 planets’ worth of resources every year. We’ve seen rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, biodiversity loss, and pollution of our planet. Some of the changes are already irreversible.
But it’s not too late to help make a difference to save the world, which is exactly what we do at WRAP.
We are a charity designed to deliver change. We work with governments, businesses and people all around the globe in our bid to create a world where resources are used sustainably.
From the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the products we buy. Every single day we are all using the planets resources - often without thought or consequence.
If you join us at WRAP – and we think you should – you'll help us to re-invent, re-think and re-define what is possible from production to consumption and beyond. Whether that’s tackling sustainable product design, reducing waste, encouraging re-use or advocating recycling across the food and drink, plastic packaging, clothing and textiles and the collections and recycling sectors.
You can help us all to do better.
