Researcher - Maternity Cover

Role Overview & Responsibilities

The main focus of this role is to work with the collation of key data relating to the sectors we cover. The role involves mostly internet-based research with some telephone research as necessary, and the resulting information is then inputted into our systems. This job requires you to obtain data from a variety of sources, (such as published articles or reports) and then requires you to concisely summarise the facts, accurately for our clients. The work will consist of routine research and from time-to-time other bespoke research projects, and would be ideal for someone who considers themselves to be a good ‘all-rounder’.

This position would suit a person with a natural aptitude towards dealing with people at all levels. You should be comfortable working to deadlines. Speed and accuracy are also of high importance and therefore strong keyboard skills are necessary.

Key Skills/Attributes Required

• Strong attention to detail
• Conscientious attitude to work
• Able to work independently, as well as part of a team
• Quick and accurate keyboard skills
• Good IT skills
• Proficient with Microsoft Office, in particular Word & Excel
• A real commitment to delivering high standards of work
• Comfortable making enquiries via telephone
• Open to learning new aspects of the sector / job
