Are you passionate about collaboration and applied research around wider determinants of health to tackle health inequalities?
Newcastle City Council’s Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) is seeking to recruit a Programme Lead to steer the ‘Academic Collaboration and Further Funding’ pillar. This is an exciting opportunity to lead transformative work at the intersection of academic research, policy, and community impact.
As a Programme Lead, you will play a pivotal role in advancing the Council’s research activity, embedding a culture of evidence-informed decision-making across the council and beyond.
This role will ensure that high quality research is conducted that meets Council Areas of Research Interest (ARIs), as well as corporate and funder priorities and timelines. To achieve this goal, you will develop a suite of projects to cultivate research activity.
The post holder will need to work effectively across a wide range of organisational and professional boundaries, strengthening and developing HDRC Newcastle’s capacity to interact with academic, community, policy and practice partners. You will be productive, self-motivated and have excellent communication and writing skills with the ability to support research bids.
You’ll be joining a supportive HDRC team in a forward-thinking council committed to tackling health inequalities and delivering real change for our residents.
If you’re ready to lead bold, system-wide transformation and make a lasting difference, we want to hear from you.
