Lead on the critical appraisal of behavioural science evidence to identity specific drivers.

What we’re looking for – knowledge, experience & skills

Experience of using a variety of behavioural science tools and approaches.
Experience of conducting literature reviews and writing up research findings.
Knowledge of research and evaluation methods, with experience in critically appraising research and using quantitative and qualitative research methods.
Educated to a minimum of Masters degree level in a behavioural science discipline.
Well-developed written, presentation and report writing skills, with strong verbal and written communication skills.
Good partnership working skills, with experience of building and maintaining productive relationships.
