Main duties of the job
This is a fascinating opportunity to help us better our knowledge of the impact of health inequalities and protected characteristics on our workforce. Through the assessment of insightful data, we need to understand the key issues that need action, and as such, you will use ambitious data collection and research activities relating to disability, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age and other protected characteristics alongside data from our occupational health and sickness absence systems. You will also conduct research relating to access to, and the effectiveness of, health interventions that are currently available. Working in partnership with a wide variety of staff, you will collect and analyse quantitative and qualitative data to look at health inequalities within these groups. Of course, not all staff will initially see the value in this research, but you will work closely with them to help them understand the importance of their contribution, and how this will allow us to continue being the best possible employer. You will handle and assess complex and sensitive data and information, comparing options to address your findings, before making recommendations on the actions we should take.
