- Support reporting, review processes, and the creation of impact-related communications in line with the University's Research Strategy.
**What we're looking for**:
- Strong knowledge of research impact in a higher education or related context, ideally including REF requirements.
- Experience supporting researchers or professionals in capturing and communicating impact effectively.
- Confidence in developing and coordinating systems, processes, and events that support diverse project portfolios.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage academics, professional services staff, and external partners.
- A commitment to advancing impact in an inclusive way, ensuring research benefits are accessible, equitable, and widely shared.
How to apply: Please attach your CV and covering letter detailing how you meet the person specification.
We support a range of flexible working arrangements, including hybrid and tailored schedules, which can be discussed with your line manager. If you require reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process or in your role, please let us know so we can provide appropriate support.
