Government Social Research

We are the professional body for social researchers in the Civil Service. Our social researchers study and analyse various aspects of society, such as people’s behaviour, opinions, and needs. This then helps the government make informed decisions.   

We recruit students, graduates, and apprentices to work in over 30 government departments and agencies across the UK, from the Ministry of Justice to the Office for National Statistics.  

With over 2,500 members working across government, you will be joining an established community of social research professionals, getting access to all the training, networking, and access opportunities that come with being part of a social research community that has a diverse array of experiences and professional knowledge.
