Research Volunteers (unpaid)

Volunteers are needed to work full- or part-time supporting the work of the national media team with dedicated research projects covering a wide variety of issues. Our research volunteers work flexible daytime hours, sometimes based in our office in Archway, North London (reasonable travel expenses paid, plus lunch allowance for volunteers working a full day) but in many cases working from home.

Green Party research volunteers usually work in one of two ways:

You may agree to be available on certain specific days (eg Mondays and Tuesdays each week), and will undertake research/writing tasks which may have arisen that day, in response to an urgent media team requirement. Research projects of a less urgent nature may be undertaken between more immediate tasks.

You may agree to be available for some hours during a specified period (eg committing to 8 hours a week), in which case you will undertake research/writing tasks to be completed by agreed deadlines.

If you wish to apply, please complete this questionnaire, and fill out this Volunteer Agreement, and email them, together with your CV, to press@greenparty.org.uk

Photo and video volunteers (unpaid)
