Specialist/Expert Volunteer (Qualitative Researcher - Workplace Wellbeing Team)

The Wellbeing Team seek to enable the whole workforce to give their best to save nature.

We are doing work around eco-distress (emotions triggered by climate and nature crises) and how to support colleagues to navigate this in ways that prevent overwhelm and burnout.

This work is potentially important not just to those working at the RSPB but the wider conservation sector as eco-distress is likely to affect this sector in particular ways but is currently under researched.

We have been running internal Climate Cafes for a year and have some qualitative done some quantitative data from surveys with participants which we like to analyse.

The tasks for this role will be to -

• Carry out analysis of data
• Assisting with producing a report on this intervention

This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in primary qualitative research and make a real difference to the wellbeing of staff at the RSPB, and potentially further afield.

You would be working closely with the Wellbeing Manager and gain real experience of combining research and its practical application in a workplace setting.

The role will be home based (we can supply a laptop if you need one), ideally you will be able to give at least one day a week to the role but it can be done flexibly at times to suit you.

The initial project will be for 3 months.

We are looking for someone with knowledge of qualitative research methods and preferably experience of using them – this could have been at a student level.
