Our Future Health will be the UK's largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to detect, prevent, and treat diseases. Diseases like cancer, dementia, diabetes, and heart disease affect the lives of many people in our communities. Our goal is to create a world-leading resource for health research, to improve our understanding and spot the patterns of how and why common diseases start, so treatments can begin sooner and be more effective.
The ambition of Our Future Health differs from other large UK population cohorts in terms of scale, and the aim to recruit much higher numbers of participants from groups who are not well represented in research i.e. ethnic minorities, younger people and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
We're hiring a Community Engagement Manager to collaborate effectively with stakeholders across the organisation to support the delivery of initiatives that help us to better recruit and engage people from communities and groups who are currently underrepresented in health research.
This work will be central to our community outreach efforts. You will be embedded in a cross-organisational project team who take a ‘test and learn' approach to help us understand what works for different communities. This will help us drive innovation and develop a multi-layered approach to enhance our diversity efforts.
As our Community Engagement Manager - Diversity-led Innovation, you will be responsible for:

Working closely with internal stakeholders and external partners, support on the delivery and development of diversity initiatives to effectively reach, engage and support underrepresented groups. This could involve :
* Working with and involving underrepresented communities to co-create solutions

* Foster innovation by supporting efforts to explore new ideas and approaches to enhance our diversity initiatives
* Work with Science colleagues to put effective mechanisms in place to capture learnings and insights from diversity initiatives where necessary

Requirements

* Have experience and understanding of working with under-represented and diverse groups
* Have a dynamic, flexible approach, with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
