I wanted to join OPO because I love the idea that research and experience are used together to improve people’s lives. It’s not guesswork or speculation. It’s all based on academic expertise and a passion to help.
Claire - Customer Relationship Manager
Being a part of the team at OnePlusOne is really exciting as we are working on various projects that all have one goal in common – to provide people with accessible, evidence-based relationship help and contribute to a society where talking about relationships is normalised and their importance is a well-known fact. OPO’s work culture is very healthy, warm, understanding and stimulating – you can be yourself, everyone is always ready to help and support you, and what you say and think matters.
Alex - Research Assistant
Working for a charity that make a big difference to people’s lives is a very special thing. I am grateful that OPO offer flexibility meaning a great work/life balance. Staff wellbeing is also a priority, which is refreshing. I really enjoy being a part of the team.
