Job Overview
About the BMA

The British Medical Association (BMA) is the trade union and professional body for doctors in the UK. We represent, support and negotiate on behalf of all UK doctors and medical students.

Join the BMA at a crucial time for doctors and the NHS and be part of a team working for better pay and conditions for the profession.

We are looking to recruit a Senior Research Advisor to work in the Employed Doctors team, in the National Negotiations and Representation directorate. Your role will include two main elements: to support pay and contract negotiations for employed doctors in all four nations of the UK, and to provide research advice and support to the individual BMA committees who represent those doctors. We are currently in negotiations for some key groups of employed doctors, so this role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to a better deal for our members.

This is a hybrid role and currently will involve working a minimum of 1 day a week and from BMA House in central London.

To be successful as a Senior Research Advisor you’ll have:

- Practical experience in developing and delivering quantitative and qualitative research projects, within timescale, including occasional management of outsourced projects.
- Experience of designing and managing surveys. Experience of other methods such as focus groups would be beneficial.
- Good level of skills in MS Excel or other spreadsheet software, with ability to construct simple economic and financial models.
- Critical analysis skills to be able assess data, research findings, and spreadsheet models produced by others.
- Ability to work collaboratively with other research and especially non-technical policy colleagues, as well as with elected officials.
- Ability to present research findings to a variety of internal and external audiences.

Even though prior experience of NHS pay and contracts, or negotiations, is desirable, it is not essential and recent Master’s graduates or doctoral students are welcome to apply.

For this role, we are open to discussing the possibility of flexible hours and/or remote working. While the post is offered on a permanent basis, we would be happy to discuss fixed-term and secondment-type arrangements.
