Summary

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with research experience to work within a team of experts in research strategy development, research delivery and research policy, to communicate the outputs of our research funding to diverse stakeholders across the charity.

About the role

You will work within a dynamic and friendly team to help support our Research Programme Managers to develop and manage the Versus Arthritis research portfolio.

This will include collating and monitoring data from diverse sources to help provide oversight of our funded research.

You will also work closely with other colleagues to translate our research outputs into a format that is clear and impactful to help teams across the charity achieve their strategic objectives.

You will work across a diverse range of projects and will liaise with a wide range of teams from across the charity to help us to tell the story of our research investment.

Key requirements

A degree or equivalent level of experience in scientific, medical or research related domains via the charity, commercial, health, higher education or publishing sectors.
Comfortable in working with research related metrics and data, with some experience of understanding and preparing medical/scientific information for nonspecialist audiences.
High quality verbal and written communication skills including being able to communicate complex information and requirements to a wide range of audiences and stakeholders.
A flexible and collaborative approach; able to work closely and adaptively with immediate team and collaboratively across the organisation.
Good information technology skills, including effective database/PubMed/internet search techniques and significant experience of using Microsoft Office packages.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines independently, including rapid turnaround requests.

- *As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability._
