Are you an organised individual with experience in a process driven, administrative or project delivery environment, who is looking to develop your skills at the nation's largest funder of health and care research.

At the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) we enable world-class research that transforms people’s lives, promotes economic growth and advances science.

We are looking for someone who can:
1. Deliver the work involved in running research funding schemes in collaboration with NIHR CCF colleagues and external parties, including:

- Acting as a key contact point for enquiries about funding schemes
- Communicating with applicants, independent expert reviewers and funding committee meeting attendees
- Preparing competition information for publication on the NIHR website
- Working with the Information Services team to configure, test and troubleshoot each new competition on the research management system (RMS)

- Sourcing and inviting large numbers of independent expert reviewers to undertake peer review of research funding proposals, and ensuring their input is received within deadlines
- Managing applicant responses to reviewer comments
- Producing funding committee meeting papers and related documents
- Supporting committee meetings on the day including simple Zoom troubleshooting advice for virtual meetings, overseeing venue arrangements such as room set-up at face-to-face meetings, liaising with attendees, running presentation slides, managing conflicts of interest of attendees and taking notes
- Providing practice Zoom sessions for some attendees
- Preparing and dispatching outcome letters to applicants, carrying out other post-committee meeting tasks and managing follow-up queries from applicants

2. Support monitoring and management of awards made including:

- Populating contract templates for new awards and overseeing the electronic signing process
- Collecting progress reports from award holders

4. Support annual award data collection exercises, that enable the NIHR to understand and demonstrate the impact of the research it has funded

5. Regularly interact with a range of people at all levels of seniority, including NIHR colleagues, Department of Health and Social Care staff, committee members and the research community.

6. Operate as a flexible resource within NIHR CCF, e.g. providing support to projects and performing data analysis
