**Job summary**:
In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose - to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you’d like to work in, we’d love to hear from you.

DHSC invests significantly in research and development (R&D) to support the delivery of its objectives primarily through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
NIHR’s mission is to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research. Established in 2006, NIHR is the nation’s largest funder of health and care research and NIHR’s people, research programmes, centres of excellence and systems together represent the most integrated health and care research system in the world. NIHR has transformed research in and for the health and care sector, helping to shape the health research landscape more broadly.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help drive forward health and care research policy for DHSC - working with delivery partners in the NIHR - in a role that is varied, challenging and frequently fast paced.

**Job description**:
An opportunity has arisen in the Science, Research and Evidence Directorate of DHSC to influence the research ecosystem and develop national research policy and strategy that delivers patient and public benefit and contributes to UK growth.

- Research stakeholder liaison:_

Acting as an ambassador for the DHSC research policy function to the wider research system, engaging with policy officials across Government and senior external stakeholders in the academic community, the research charity and commercial sectors and the health and care system.

Building relationships and sharing good practice with key research funding organisations to support prioritisation and development of NIHR research policy.

Supporting the secretariat to the NIHR Strategy and Engagement Board - a residential advisory board of health and care research leaders
- Leading/supporting arising policy projects in line with Ministerial/CSA/DHSC senior official’s priorities:_

The postholder will also need to help support and/or lead on a variety of research policy projects in response to arising needs from across the Directorate or from the Ministerial team.
