Location (UK): Office Hybrid - London Hours: Full-time, 35 Hours per week Contract type: Fixed-term - 2 years Travel: Occasional travel across the UK including Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis. You will join the UK Advocacy and Health Intelligence Department within the Chief Executive's Directorate. The team is responsible for leading UK strategy development and delivery across advocacy (policy, public affairs, campaigning) and health intelligence, working closely with colleagues across the UK to ensure effective delivery of the strategy in each nation. The department sits in the Chief Executive's Directorate to ensure driving positive change with and for people with arthritis is at the heart of the organisation. The Department works closely with colleagues across the charity, including Services, Research and Income and Engagement to ensure we are joined up in our approach to arthritis. About the role The Researcher is a new, important post at Arthritis UK. Working within our Health Intelligence team, you will lead on providing expertise on the latest relevant research evidence, providing a responsive, robust and balanced assessment of the available evidence and any key gaps to shape the charity's UK advocacy agenda, and drive organisational priorities. Working across a range of issues you will play a crucial role in ensuring that the experiences and needs of people living with arthritis are understood and acted upon, and that arthritis is taken seriously across the UK. About you If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we'd love to hear from you: In-depth knowledge and experience in working in health-related, research. Experience in the synthesis and evaluation of research evidence across a range of sources (including grey literature), including in the design and delivery of rapid reviews. Experience in communicating clearly and succinctly to non-technical and non-expert audiences, through both written formats (e.g. briefing papers) and verbally (e.g. via presentations and meetings with senior stakeholders), with a robust approach to accessibility throughout communication. Demonstrable understanding of how research can be used to shape policy and practice. Experience of consistently applying a range of techniques and research methods applicable to framing research questions, evidence review and research evaluation. Able to communicate findings and conclusions clearly to non-specialist and specialist audiences. Educated to at least master's degree level or equivalent. As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability. Benefits Your excellent benefits include: Flexible hours, environments and working practices to promote a healthy work/life balance. Health and wellbeing support - including the Employee Assistance Programme (free confidential 24/7 support with mental health, legal and financial queries). Simplyhealth cash plan. Supportive and inclusive culture, with a wide range of employee networks and support groups available to join. Learning and personal development opportunities. Competitive annual leave, with the option to buy/sell up to five days per year. Generous pension plan, with employer contribution of up to 10%. Life Assurance plan (4 x salary). About us We have made a commitment in our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy to increase the diversity of our charity and we welcome candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We want our employees, volunteers and trustees to represent the broad diversity of the communities of which we are a part. There are over 10 million people living with arthritis. That's one in six, with over half of those living in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes on everyday life - affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as 'just a bit of arthritis'. We don't think that this is OK. Arthritis UK is here to change that. Arthritis UK is committed to keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from harm. During the recruitment process we will undertake safer recruitment practices and relevant checks to ensure applicants are suitable to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults. Arthritis UK is a Registered Charity No: 207711 and in Scotland No. SC041156.
