About SafeLives

We are SafeLives, the UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good.

We work with organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse. We want what you would want for your best friend. We listen to survivors, putting their voices at the heart of our thinking. We look at the whole picture for each individual and family to get the right help at the right time to make families everywhere safe and well. And we challenge perpetrators to change, asking ‘why doesn't he stop?' rather than ‘why doesn't she leave?' This applies whatever the gender of the victim or perpetrator and whatever the nature of their relationship.

The Role

SafeLives has an unparalleled track record of using evidence and research to effect national change; with research and analysis being fundamental to helping SafeLives achieve its strategy. This information is used to set our policy messages, define our strategy, design our services and evidences the impact of the work we have done.

This role is an exciting opportunity to help transform the response to domestic abuse by ensuring the sector is evidence led. SafeLives holds the largest datasets on victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse nationally which you will use to inform our ambitious policy and research agenda. Working alongside our practice experts, survivors of abuse, and our expert research team, you will help to answer important questions about what works in ending domestic abuse.

The Research Analyst will be responsible for working with and supporting the Senior Research Analyst and Research Managers to develop and deliver rigorous and sector leading data, analysis and recommendations across the full range of SafeLives programmes and products. We need an enthusiastic, innovative and capable individual with the technical ability to keep our unique sector leading evidence base relevant and informative to all our users; local service providers, commissioners and national government. The evidence you produce will inform and influence national policy makers, funders and stakeholders to improve the response for families living with domestic abuse.

Benefits include a generous package including: 25 days' holiday a year and public holidays, employee pension scheme with 4% employer contribution, flexible working, Cycle to Work scheme and National Railcard.
