**Job Purpose**

**About the Research Excellence Framework (REF)**

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the system for assessing the quality of research in UK higher education institutions, with the most recent exercise concluding in 2021. It is a peer review assessment process involving submissions from higher education institutions across the UK. Research England delivered REF 2021 on behalf of the four UK funding bodies and the results have driven the annual distribution of approximately £2 billion of research funding to UK universities.

You will ensure that the team/project/programme takes a user centred, evidenced based approach to content design and support in aligning content across systems and policy development.

In addition to content design you will also prepare and deliver training and user guidance required to support the running of the exercise. A background in training is a real must.
