Research Officer

Homeless Link is the national membership charity for frontline homeless agencies in England. With more than 750 members, we work to improve services and campaign for policy change that will help end homelessness and ensure that everyone has a place to call home and the support they need to keep it.

We are looking to recruit a Research Officer to join our Policy and Research team. This is a varied role, supporting both longer-term strategic research and responsive research consultancy projects, including programme evaluations. The Research Officer will work closely with the wider Research team to collect, analyse and communicate evidence that informs policy, practice development and service improvement across the sector.

This will include both quantitative and qualitative research and working with frontline services, partners and people with lived experience of homelessness.

The successful candidate will have a good foundation in quantitative and qualitative research, strong communication skills, and an openness to continuous learning and problem solving. This role would suit someone looking to build their experience in applied social research while contributing to evidence that supports a better response to preventing and ending homelessness.

We are actively seeking to increase diversity within our organisation and would greatly welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness, from a black or minority ethnic background and/or with a disability.

Closing Date: 7.30am, Monday 15th June 2026
