Apply directAccessibility & Research Support Officer (Women Only)
Location: Barton Seagrave, Kettering, Northamptonshire (hybrid – in-person one day per week)
Contract: Part-time, 3 days per week (Wednesday–Friday)
We’re looking for a highly organised and thoughtful person to provide accessibility and research support to a blind academic researcher working on projects about domestic abuse and gender-based violence.
This is not a typical support role - it’s an opportunity to play a key part in enabling important social research. You’ll help make academic work accessible by assisting with reading, interpreting, and formatting information, supporting communication and admin, and ensuring the researcher can work independently and effectively.
It’s a brilliant fit for someone who enjoys varied, meaningful work, has excellent written English, and values equality, inclusion, and attention to detail.
Key responsibilities:
- Reading and interpreting academic texts, reports, and quantitative data
- Sourcing and reviewing research materials
- Creating and checking accessible Word, PDF, and PowerPoint documents
- Supporting note-taking during meetings and workshops
- Making travel arrangements and accompanying the researcher to events (occasionally)
- Handling confidential and sensitive information with professionalism
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has strong written communication and analytical skills (degree-level or equivalent experience)
- Is confident using Microsoft Office, especially Excel and PowerPoint
- Has an interest in equality, disability rights, or inclusive research
- Is highly organised, detail-oriented, and reliable
- Can work in Barton Seagrave one day per week (Weds, Thurs or Fri)
Desirable skills:
- Experience using academic databases or journal platforms
- Familiarity with data visualisation tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.)
This is a women-only position, permitted under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1, due to the sensitive nature of the work.
If you’re looking for a flexible, purposeful part-time role where your attention to detail and commitment to inclusion can make a tangible difference, we’d love to hear from you
