Civitas Charity Recruitment is working with an independent national legal charity seeking a Senior Research Fellow to join its highly respected research team. The organisation works to ensure that individuals facing disadvantage can hold power to account and access justice. Its work spans legal research, policy, litigation, and training, aiming to improve public decision-making and fairness in society.
This role offers the chance to lead impactful research supporting access to justice and influencing administrative law reform.

You should have a proven record of designing and delivering impactful empirical research and be comfortable communicating findings to diverse audiences. Experience in developing research-informed policy, working with external partners, and contributing to funding bids is desirable. A commitment to equity, collaboration, and courage is essential. Lived experience or previous work with marginalized communities would be an asset.
This is a permanent role based in London, with flexible working options. It can be full-time or part-time (minimum 28 hours/week). Salary is £45,669 per annum, with eligibility for a cost-of-living uplift.
