The Role

We have an exciting opportunity to join the NIHR Research Support Service Specialist Centre for Public Health as a Centre Administrator.

This is a key role in the new Specialist Centre for Public Health. Reporting to the Senior Research Administrator and working closely with the Operations Manager, you will provide administrative support to this new £22M NIHR investment.

Our vision is to develop the infrastructure, capacity and capability to support practitioners and researchers to carry out high quality public health research, outside the NHS, to produce robust evidence to improve population health and reduce health and care inequalities.

You will be interested in working in a fast-paced and varied environment. As the Centre's first point of contact, you will develop excellent working relationships with stakeholders across England. You must therefore be a confident communicator, with a passion for outstanding customer service. You will have a keen eye for detail, developing and implementing effective and efficient administrative systems. Excellent time management and organisational skills are essential, as well as the ability to manage a diverse workload.

To apply for the position, we will need your CV and a personal statement outlining how you are suitable for the role, using evidence to highlight how you meet the essential criteria as listed in the job description.

This is a full-time position, fixed term until 30th September 2028.
