DSC is hiring!
Job Title: Researcher
Location: Remote (homeworking) – Based in UK
Salary: £20,820 (pro-rata)
Do you or someone you know want to land a great job at a fantastic organisation? Well, at DSC we’re looking for someone to join our brilliant Research Team.
Our Researchers are the drivers behind DSC’s funding guides and Funds Online information. They provide the charitable sector with award winning analysis, evidence and insight, and they are looking for someone to join them on a short-term contract in 2025!
You don’t have to have a background in research or be academically brilliant – we will teach you what you need to know. We just want someone who loves to read information and find the important facts, who likes detail, who is willing and interested in learning and who likes that feeling of being satisfyingly tired at the end of the day because you’ve done a good day’s graft.
Our Researcher role is perfect for anyone who is at the start of their career journey; or who is in-between jobs; or who is looking for a way back into the workplace.
Does your dream job ‘wish-list’ look something like this?
- A fully remote job where you see your colleagues online every day (so no time or travel costs)
- Working with friendly and supportive colleagues
- Feeling like you’re doing something that actually matters
- A three-day weekend (every weekend) with a 35-hour working week
- Working at an organisation that exists to support the charity sector
- A full-time, six-month contract
- Where you are trusted to get on with work without anyone looming over your shoulder

“This is a great opportunity for someone to join DSC’s Research Team. In 2015, I saw a similar advert and joined as a Researcher… A decade later, DSC remains a fantastic place to work.”
