About the Role: This unique role offers the chance to influence how local authorities use research to inform service delivery, public health initiatives, and community engagement. You’ll lead on designing and managing research projects, advising on methodology and ethics, supporting workforce development, and building relationships with academic institutions, NHS partners, and community stakeholders. Your work will directly contribute to building research capacity, integrating evidence into Council policy, and promoting inclusive, co-produced research that reflects the voices of under-represented communities.

This role requires someone who is highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities. You’ll bring a keen eye for detail, a commitment to ethical research practices, and a passion for using evidence to drive social change.
