Job purpose:

To support the Strategic Insight Coordinator in collating and reporting on student-focussed research projects, such as Spill the Beans, to ensure the Union meets the needs of its members.

About the role:

We are recruiting an Insight Assistant (Reporting) to work at Westminster Students’ Union. You will be mainly based on one campus (Cavendish), with the option of some remote working once you are settled into the role. There may also be a need to work across the other campuses at times, for example to undertake training or work on a project.

You will not be expected to work evenings, weekends, or University holidays, apart from occasional early evening work if we are conducting research after the usual office hours.

What is in it for me?

  • 1:1 guidance into the world of consumer research with the Strategic Insight Coordinator
  • Truly flexible working - you’ll never be asked to work over a lecture.
  • Access to our employability support and development programme
