We currently have three job opportunities available:

  • Peer Researchers – SFSC: Safer Lives 
    • 3 full time roles: two in London, one in Manchester.

Peer Researchers – SFSC: Safer Lives

Job title: Peer Researcher – Safer Lives Project (3 x vacancies) 
2 x positions in London (full-time) & 1 x position in Manchester (full-time)
Contract: Fixed term until April 2028 (possible extension to September 2028)

Salary: The salary for this role is £25,207 per year which includes an extra allowance for being based in London which we know is a particularly expensive place to live and work. The salary for the role in Manchester is £22,932 per year.

We’re recruiting three Peer Researchers to join the SFSC: Safer Lives project, which supports families where young people are at risk of offending or youth violence.

We’re looking for people with recent lived experience of the issues facing families and communities affected by youth offending to help shape real change. As a Peer Researcher, you’ll be part of the research team working with the Race Equality Foundation and our university partners to explore how supporting parents can strengthen families and help keep young people safe. 

You’ll take an active role in talking with other young people, building trust and keeping them connected to the project, and sharing insights with the team and beyond.

We’re not asking for degrees or long CVs. We’re looking for people with relevant lived experience who are good listeners, open-minded, and passionate about supporting young people.
