BCP Council is seeking a Local Authority Research Practitioner to join its Public Health and Communities team. This exciting new role is part of a national programme jointly funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), aimed at embedding a culture of research across local authorities.

You'll be at the forefront of developing research capacity and infrastructure across BCP Council, helping us become a research-active local authority that uses evidence to inform decisions and improve the health and wellbeing of our residents.

This is a unique opportunity to shape how research is understood, valued and applied across council services, working collaboratively with communities, partners and academic institutions to reduce health inequalities and drive meaningful change.

Role Purpose
As a Local Authority Research Practitioner, You Will

  • Conduct a baseline audit of current research activity, partnerships and workforce capacity.
  • Identify barriers to research and co-produce a plan to build capacity and infrastructure.
  • Lead the development of research culture and capability across BCP Council.
  • Promote external funding opportunities and build strategic partnerships.
  • Support colleagues to engage with research through training, networking and guidance.
  • Represent BCP Council in the national LARP network and contribute to shared learning.
  • Report regularly to the NIHR Specialist Centre for Public Health to demonstrate impact.

This post will have oversight and support from the Consultant in Public Health who is leading on research development and partnerships within their portfolio and be line managed by our Senior Public Health Analyst. The post holder will be supported across all Public Health portfolios to embed culture and infrastructure in the Public Health and Communities team, whilst working with the relevant PH team members who are 'designated wellbeing partners' to each directorate within BCP to build relationships and links to the wider council. Working with our communities' team will also be instrumental in supporting this role to embed the principles of Public Involvement and Community Engagement and research inclusion.

The BCP Public Health & Communities team works from the Civic Centre in Bournemouth. We support agile and hybrid working using online technology. We also support flexible working where possible. There will be a need to work in the BCP area to build relationships with the team and partners, and to attend face to face meetings at least once a week.

If you are interested in this opportunity, and you think you might be the person we are looking for, we would be delighted to hear from you. Interviews will be held in person and are likely to be held around the 8th December 2025.
