Crynodeb
In December 2021 Baroness Heather Hallett, a retired Appeal Court judge, was appointed by the Prime Minister as Chair of the independent public inquiry into the Covid-19 pandemic.
The UK Covid-19 Inquiry was formally established with full powers under the Inquiries Act 2005 in June 2022. The Inquiry sits independently of the Government with the Cabinet Office acting as the sponsoring department.
Following an initial set up phase the Inquiry began hearing evidence in May 2023. We are now looking for a Lead Research Analyst to join the excellent team that is delivering the Inquiry.
This is an exciting role, offering the opportunity to lead an innovative team, in fast moving circumstances, to ensure lessons are learned from the UK response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Further information about the Inquiry can be found on the UK Covid-19 Inquiry website.
Conflicts of Interest
Please note that candidates invited to interview will be invited to declare any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interests which could affect the independence of the Inquiry, in confidence, to the senior conflicts of interest recruiting manager. This may include current or prior work undertaken on the COVID-19 pandemic response. Decisions on any potential conflict of interest will be made before an appointment to the role is confirmed.
The Team
Research, analysis and data are integral to informing the evidence base underpinning the Covid-19 Inquiry. The Research & Analysis Team sits within the Policy, Research, Analysis and Legal Directorate (PRAL).
The Research & Analysis Team has three main functions:
- Identifying and evaluating evidence on the UK’s response to and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which will be used by the Inquiry in its investigations.
- Supporting analysis of qualitative and quantitative data from the Inquiry’s research projects, such as the Listening Exercise (Every Story Matters).
- Ensuring that potential recommendations for consideration by the Chair are grounded in rigorous evidence.
The post holder will work closely with the Research and Analyst team (including three other G7 Research Leads, Senior Research Analysts and Research Support Officers) on a programme of research examining the response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its subsequent impact on the UK. Working in partnership with legal operations and policy colleagues to establish a narrative account of the pandemic, you will deliver insights to directly contribute to the development of recommendations, helping to ensure that lessons are learned for the future.
We are recruiting for a G7 Lead Research Analyst. You will play an important role contributing to the Inquiry by leading on the best use of evidence from research, data and external experts. Your research will underpin the Inquiry’s eventual recommendations for change. There will be opportunities for gaining research, data analytics and project management experience, working closely with the Inquiry’s extensive legal team, as well as leading on collaborations with external research organisations such as universities, charities and third sector organisations
Some of the key responsibilities include and are not limited to:
- Overseeing commissioned research projects, from study design through to the final report. The most significant responsibility will be the set up and management of a research programme investigating the social and economic impacts of the pandemic on the UK population. This will involve close management of relationships with external suppliers to ensure the evidence meets the Inquiry’s requirements.
- Contributing to the team’s programme of expert reports, by liaising with academics and experts across sectors such as public health, political governance, education and care settings, to develop a critical evidence base for each of the Inquiry’s modules.
- Evaluating the evidence and lessons from the Inquiry’s research projects, including the Listening Exercise (Every Story Matters) that aims to capture the views and experiences of the UK public.
- Contributing to the design and delivery of internal research and analysis activities to be used by the Inquiry in its investigations and potential recommendations for change. This will include working closely with legal teams on each of the Inquiry’s investigation modules.
