Job description

Our Future Health will be the UK’s largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to detect, prevent, and treat diseases. Diseases like cancer, dementia, diabetes, and heart disease affect the lives of many people in our communities. Our goal is to create a world-leading resource for health research, to improve our understanding and spot the patterns of how and why common diseases start, so treatments can begin sooner and be more effective.

The ambition of Our Future Health differs from other large UK population cohorts in terms of scale, and the aim to recruit much higher numbers of participants from groups who are not well represented in research i.e. ethnic minorities, younger people and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.  

We're hiring a Community Engagement Manager to collaborate effectively with stakeholders across the organisation to develop and implement scalable community engagement pilots to reach and support these diverse communities.

  • Foster innovation by collaborating with stakeholders to conduct ideation workshops, exploring new approaches to enhance our diversity initiatives 
  • Work with Science colleagues to put effective evaluation mechanisms in place 

Project management and reporting 

  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and within budget. 
  • Manage project teams and coordinate with internal and external partners. 
  • Prepare detailed reports and presentations for stakeholders and senior management. 

Advocacy and outreach 

  • Advocate for the needs and interests of underrepresented communities within the organisation. 
  • Represent the organisation at community events and forums. 
  • Share insights and learnings across the organisation from your engagement with communities to help improve programme design.  
  • Researching and understanding the key communities we are trying to recruit and engage with 

Team support 

  • Work collaboratively with the Community Engagement management team to continuously improve how the team works together and operates 

Requirements

  • Be able to design and develop engagement pilots based on data and insights, delivering innovative and cost-effective solutions 
  • Understand how to evaluate, monitor and assess pilots 
  • Have experience and understanding of working with under-represented and diverse groups 
  • Be collaborative and be able to build effective working relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders at all levels and from all backgrounds 
  • Have a dynamic, flexible approach, with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail 
  • Be someone who works well in a busy, changing environment with tight deadlines and takes pride in the little touches that make for strong relationships and excellent events
