Main duties of the job


This post is a key role for our organisation, based within our small but dynamic and passionate Patient and Public Leadership Team.


The team works across our organisation to embed effective PPI and equality, diversity and inclusion, and offers expertise to our many health and care partners to support their own work and build their awareness, capacity and capability.


This role will focus on two key areas:
Effective delivery of EMAHSN's Patient and Public Leadership programme - ensuring PPI is embedded across our activities and programmes, and also providing support and expertise to our external health and care partners


Ensuring EMAHSN embeds a robust approach to equality, diversity and inclusion through implementation of our Diversity Pledges, a focus on supporting delivery of Core20PLUS5 priorities, equality impact assessments of all of our programmes, and by providing support and expertise to our external health and care partners to support equality, diversity and inclusion best practice.

This post will also line manage a member of the team.

Working for our organisation


We are one of 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) around England that operate as the innovation arm of the NHS.

We bring together partners from all sectors involved in health and care including the NHS, social care and public health, patients, research, third sector and industry to identify, test and spread new technologies and better ways of working.

We save the NHS money, generate economic growth, empower health and care staff, and improve lives for patients. We work closely with our health and care stakeholders to establish their priorities then provide support.

As part of a national network of AHSNs, we import evidenced solutions from other AHSN regions and export our successful East Midlands programmes on a national basis.

We have a range of objectives, but our overarching aim is always to make a difference for patients.
