A Vacancy at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to be a part of our East Midlands RRDN flexible workforce, the Agile Research Delivery Team.
Our flexible Agile Research Delivery Team workforce has built a reputation of excellence, providing researchers with a service to achieve high quality outcomes. We have ambitious plans to expand the team and provide development opportunities to provide the team with the skills required to support the delivery of research in public health, community and social care settings.
The post will be based across the North Regions of the East Midlands comprising Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire with some work accross the wider East Midlands. You will be allocated a local base office.
The focus for this role is to lead the delivery and/or set up of National Institute for Health and Care Research Research Delivery Network (NIHR RDN) Portfolio studies across varied health and care settings. This will require flexible autonomous working across disciplines and the Regional RDN (RRDN) region. Research delivery will involve the correct identification, recruitment, delivery and follow up for research participants according to the appropriate research protocols. The post holder will need interpersonal and leadership skills to facilitate collaborative working relationships across a breadth of stakeholders to maximise engagement opportunities. This post may contribute to line management for and leadership of a team of research delivery staff working autonomously in a variety of specialties and settings.
The role will work alongside different professions from multiple organisations involved in health and care research and will be an integral part of the Agile Research Delivery Team which sits within the RRDN core team. The post holder will also work closely with the Study Support Service and the Stakeholder and Engagement team. The post holder will be accountable to the Agile Research Delivery Team Manager.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
