Who are we?

Beaufort Research is a leading market research company in Wales. We've been helping clients with quantitative and qualitative research to inform their decisions since 1984. We carry out a wide range of interesting and varied projects for government bodies, public organisations and businesses. These can involve helping clients develop policies or products, assessing the effectiveness of their advertising and communications and measuring customer satisfaction. Beaufort is a Company Partner of the Market Research Society, and all our staff belong to the MRS.

What's the role?

This is a maternity cover position running up to 12 months, ending in February 2027 - with the potential to become a permanent role depending on business needs and performance.

You'll be right at the heart of our client work. You'll take the lead on a variety of qualitative and quantitative projects, guiding them from initial brief all the way through to final delivery. One day you might be designing an online survey or shaping a discussion guide, and the next you could be moderating focus groups, interviewing client stakeholders or drafting findings for clients.

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.
