**About the role**

This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of the HDRC based in Lambeth Council; also known as Lambeth Health Determinants Research & Evaluation Network (HEART). Lambeth is one of 10 councils across the UK pioneering this new investment in local government as part of a major drive for enabling research to address wider determinants of population health and health inequalities. The post holder will be an integral part of this new research network as we become a “nationally recognised centre of excellence”.

We are recruiting a Head of Service (HoS) to provide senior management and support the Research Director to develop and successfully deliver the HDRC (Lambeth HEART).

The post holder will be an active member of the Executive Management group and engage with other senior stakeholders to agree effective structures and ways of working. This is a new programme designed to develop new ways of doing things and the post holder will need the ability to conceptualise, communicate and implement an entirely new team and test new ideas and approaches. They will be a problem solver with the ability to ‘self-task’ based on outcomes and proactively identify problems and formulate solutions including building relationships and drawing in support.

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is the nation’s largest funder of health and care research and has a mission to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research. The Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) is a new element of NIHR research infrastructure funded by its Public Health Programme that will be based in local government. The purpose is to enable local authorities to become more research-active, undertake new research and use existing evidence to inform our decision making, and undertake evaluation activities. There will be a central focus on health inequalities and actions to tackle issues faced by local disadvantaged groups and areas.

**Key duties include**:

- Provide accountability to the Director of HDRC and Executive Team to deliver the milestones of the programme to budget.
- Work with senior leadership to set the strategic goals and objectives for the programme. Build consensus around the programme’s problem definition and solution design amongst a diverse stakeholder set.
