    Job description

    Job responsibilities

    The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is providing up to £5 million of funding to a number of local authorities to establish Health Determinants Research Collaborations (HDRCs) in their local areas. HDRCs aim to boost research capacity and capability within local government to embed a culture of always using evidence when making decisions. HDRCs use research findings to understand how decisions impact on health and health inequalities. They also carry out research where evidence isnt already available.

    The Sandwell HDRC Better Research for Better Health is a partnership between SMBC, the University of Birmingham, and the voluntary & community sector. Our HDRC vision is to undertake evidence-informed, robustly evaluated activities that reflect the needs and values of our diverse local communities. The Sandwell HDRC will align with a borough-wide Levelling Up Programme to improve the wider determinants of health.

    The HDRC aims to transform SMBCs research culture and infrastructure to:

    Make the best use of empirical evidence to inform decision-making and investment

    Robustly evaluate services to ensure quality, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness

    Facilitate research activity with partner organisations and local residents

    Effectively disseminate research outputs for wider influence

    This will be achieved by:

    Strengthening research and development capacity, resources and infrastructure

    Embedding a strong research culture for evidence-informed decision-making

    Developing robust systems and partnerships for cultural and knowledge exchange

    Creating a community-led research culture

    As one of four HDRC Project Officers, you will work closely with the HDRC Project Manager within one of these workstreams, the HDRC Co-ordinator, and with internal and external partners, to support the development and delivery of workstream projects and activities. Your role will be to provide administrative and operational support for the workstream and to facilitate partnership working, community engagement and dissemination of HDRC outputs. This will involve working with a range of partners and stakeholders, including officers across the Council, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), voluntary and community groups and members of the public.
