  • Oversee project administration and communication: facilitate collaboration among researchers, stakeholders, and the community, ensuring timely outcomes and effective integration with partner teams.
  • Coordinate financial documentation and audits: gather necessary evidence for financial claims, organise project audits and evaluations, and maintain accurate documentation. Keep track of financial reporting
  • Establish tracking and monitoring mechanisms: implement systems to oversee project progress, ensuring adherence to funding guidelines and successful project completion.
  • Organise meetings and events: schedule and facilitate steering board and project management meetings, webinars, and workshops aligned with project goals, as well as attend them in person where relevant and necessary.
  • Manage project communications: oversee social media, website content, science communication, and outreach activities for effective dissemination.
  • Support new research development: contribute to developing new research proposals and building partnerships with funders to sustain GCARE’s ongoing research initiatives by securing external funding.
  • Support wider GCARE projects and its Guildford Living Lab activities: oversee social media, website content, supervise delivery of activities, keep track of financial reporting, and public/stakeholder engagement.
