Research Support Officer (0.8 FTE)
Permanent, Part Time (29 hours per week)
Salary: £25,977 to £29,262 per annum pro rata
Location: Bournemouth Campus
Health Sciences University (HSU: formerly AECC University College) is a specialist health sciences institution dedicated to excellent education, clinical care and applied research.
Following the recent approval of our new university title HSU in July 2024 and the merger of the University College of Osteopathy into the HSU family from 1st August 2024, the institution is in a phase of growth and transformation across our campuses in Bournemouth and central London.
We are highly values-driven, inspired by our mission to create a healthier society through education, research and clinical care with highly dedicated and capable staff and students working together within a caring and inclusive community. We are part-way through the delivery of our Strategic Plan 2021-2026, entitled Fit for the Future, which we will refresh in the coming weeks to reflect recent institutional changes.
HSU delivers a diverse and growing portfolio of pre- and post-registration academic provision and research in allied health and related disciplines, and substantial CQC-registered clinical and imaging services delivering high quality care for our staff, students and local communities. These facilities create a unique offering in higher education for our students to gain valuable practice learning experience onsite, to support local and regional NHS partners, and provide a data-rich research environment for our students, staff and partners.
Partnership working sits at the heart of what we do as an agile and collaborative higher education provider and clinical provider, responding to the workforce, educational and clinical needs of our external stakeholders, and supporting our communities as an established anchor institution. As we continue to develop in Dorset and London, it is imperative that we develop a more strategically informed approach to partnership working as a multi-professional centre of excellence for healthcare education, clinical care and research locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
We provide a vibrant and positive inter-professional learning and practice environment, within a caring and inclusive community.
About the role
We are seeking a proactive and organised Research Support Officer to join our central Research Team. This role will be pivotal in supporting the development and administration of research bids, managing post-award project delivery, and ensuring compliance with research governance and ethics. You will work closely with academic staff and internal committees to facilitate the growth of our research portfolio and contribute to delivering our institutional Research & Knowledge Exchange strategy. This is a busy, varied, and dynamic role that offers the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the university research growth and success.
About the person
You will have strong organisational and communication skills, with experience in research administration or a similar environment. You should be confident in managing competing priorities, working collaboratively with academic and professional colleagues, and maintaining attention to detail in complex processes. A good understanding of research funding, governance, and compliance is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided. You will be adaptable, proactive, and committed to supporting the growth and success of our research community. You should also be comfortable working in a busy, varied, and dynamic environment, with the flexibility and resilience to manage changing priorities effectively.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum & Nationality Act 2006.
