Your new role
We’re looking for a User Researcher to join our Insight team and help us shape smarter, more informed decisions across Abri. If you’re passionate about research that genuinely influences strategy, improves services and drives meaningful change, this could be the perfect next step.
In this role, you’ll take ownership of scoping, managing and delivering a wide range of primary and secondary research projects. You’ll bring both qualitative and quantitative skills, designing the right methodologies, gathering robust evidence and turning your findings into clear, action-focused recommendations that teams across Abri can use.
This role is in the Insight Team, which is a wider team of 20 colleagues providing performance management, forecasting, research, data analysis and customer and business insight. This role sits within the Research function, where you’ll work closely with colleagues to understand the questions we need to answer and ensure research is embedded in how we plan, design and deliver our services.
You’ll use your market or business research experience to run multiple projects at once, choosing the right tools and approaches to uncover meaningful insight. From designing surveys and discussion guides to analysing data and producing high-quality reports, you’ll make sure our decisions are grounded in evidence. You’ll also work closely with stakeholders across the organisation to ensure insights are understood, shared and acted on.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

We value genuine, authentic submissions, therefore we won’t consider AI-generated applications, so please make sure you’re sharing your own experiences and insights in your application.
There will be a two-stage interview process for this role:
First stage: 28 September 2026 via Microsoft Teams.
Second stage: week commencing 5 October 2026, in-person interview at one of our offices.
