This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established company that undertakes social research for the public sector across the UK. They employ around 50 permanent staff as well as numerous casual interviewers and surveyors and offer attractive employment conditions within a large, friendly central Swansea office.

Currently, they have a vacancy for a Trainee Analyst - Full-Time (Swansea)

Initially, the post-holder will be expected to support in fulfilling analysis requirements for research projects but will develop to take full responsibility for analysis of their own project portfolio.
