The Every Child Thriving? project aims to better understand multicultural perspectives on child development and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) across North West London.
The project is looking to build a team of 16 community researchers who will work in Brent and across North West London. Working in pairs, the primary work tasks will be to liaise with community groups, conduct focus groups with parents and carers (in-person and online), and co-develop project findings.
No prior research experience is required, but an interest in SEND, ties to North West London and/or speaking multiple languages are advantages.
Training, preparation, research and analysis time will be paid. Subject to completion of payroll paperwork and satisfactory right to work checks via the King's Talent Bank, the positions are available on a casual basis. Community researchers can expect to be paid for 16 hours of work (in total), which includes training, and should expect to be involved between November 2026 and May 2027.
The hourly rate is £22.32 (including holiday pay). You must be 18+ and already be living in London. The project cannot support any visa applications.
