The Impact Officer will be responsible for developing the network’s impact strategy, taking into account the four research themes and the desired outcomes of the Network, as expressed by our stakeholders. The impact officer will be responsible for gathering evidence, identifying key metrics, creating impact case studies and supporting others working in these areas.
