Keep Britain Tidy is one of the UK’s leading environmental charities. At a time when we are
living in a world that is facing its greatest environmental challenges, the work we do has
never been more important or more urgent.

As we’re moving forward we recognise that a diverse workforce yields the best results. We
embrace all the different identities in the UK and we want our workforce to reflect that.
Environmental change is affecting us all and we want people from all backgrounds to be part of
the solution and help us make the changes that cannot wait. It is for this reason that Keep
Britain Tidy has flexible and supportive policies for all our staff, and welcomes applicants
from all backgrounds.

Keep Britain Tidy has a new opportunity for a Senior Researcher to join our award-winning
Centre for Social Innovation. With minimal support, the Senior Researcher will design, manage
and deliver research projects, behaviour change trials and wider projects, in order to reduce
resource use, waste and litter, improve the quality of public space and help people live more
sustainably.

Our work focuses on understanding the root causes of problems and uses behavioural science to
create real and lasting change. We work in partnership with private, public and academic
organisations across the country to carry out research to better understand why people behave
the way they do and use this evidence to help us develop positive and impactful interventions.

This is an exciting role within a fast-paced charity. You will have a proven track record in
the design, management and delivery of research projects and/or behaviour change trials, and be
adept at managing practical projects with a range of stakeholders. Excellent data analysis
skills are a must, along with strong presentation skills and report writing flair.

All our roles benefit from generous holiday entitlements and pension contributions, including
the opportunity to join the UK’s first net carbon pension scheme and to receive extra days
leave for using alternatives to flights. If you have any special requirements for interview
