• Reliable and proactive communication, with the ability to respond in a timely way and keep others updated on progress, particularly where other volunteers are depending on your input.
• Strong understanding of ethical research practices, and how to consistently maintain these.
• Knowledge of communities experiencing poverty, marginalisation, or other vulnerabilities.
• Experience designing surveys or feedback forms, ideally using tools such as Microsoft Forms.
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 Suite (essential), Power BI (desirable) and Wix or similar CMS platforms (desirable).

At Clothing Collective, our story began in 2018, when we set out to assist those in our society facing difficulties in clothing themselves. We wanted to bridge the gap between the vast resources available across the country and those who had little or no access to them. Over the past eight years, we have become a recognised leader in providing access to clothing by connecting people in need with existing stock held by charity shops.

In 2024, we entered an exciting new chapter as a charity, revitalising and refocusing our mission. We are strengthening our offer and empowering our partners and volunteers to help achieve our goals. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join our team on a voluntary basis and help us grow to the next level.

Our charitable objective is to provide access to clean, warm, and good-quality clothing. We now also wish to expand this objective by carrying out research and publishing useful findings for the benefit of the public.

The role will include regularly commissioning, coordinating, and reviewing research, managing a small team of volunteer researchers, and working closely with the Insights & Impact Lead. You will contribute to the development and curation of impactful, evidence-based data, presentations, and outputs tailored to diverse audiences.

If you’re inspired to make a real impact and contribute to advancing public understanding of clothing poverty, we would love to hear from you.
