from all sections of the community. We use name-blind shortlisting. The offices are upstairs in
a wheelchair accessible building in Manchester. Remote working is possible.

Specific responsibilities – Researchers will:

  • Help to produce research for publication in Ethical Consumer magazine and on its website
  • Contribute to screenings or consultancy work as agreed collectively. Recently, clients have
    included selected organisations such as Lush Cosmetics, Amnesty International, Fair Tax Mark
    and Which? magazine.
