Job overview
One of our core priorities in our ‘Above and Beyond’ strategy is to accelerate translational research and innovation to save and improve lives. GOSH, together with the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, are world-renowned for translational research activities. As an Intelligent Research Hospital, we want to make sure that research and innovation is fully integrated across all areas and that all of our staff, patients and their families have the opportunity to take part.
A secondment in the communications team means we have an 18-month fixed term post in the team where we can build research staff engagement into an already established communications post and test out some new approaches - if you have experience in authentic communications on the latest research, coupled with engaging staff, we want to hear from you. The post holder would need to be on site a minimum of once-a-week and occasionally at short notice.
We work flexibly in the team, on-site and remotely but for interview, if possible, we’d love to meet you in person.
Main duties of the job
This post will develop and lead on delivery of communication and engagement strategies for Research, including to our own staff. Working closely with the Head of Research and Innovation Communications, this post holder will develop and lead on dynamic, relevant, and engaging Research campaigns and communications activity for staff, the public, stakeholders, and colleagues. Building on successful awareness raising activity, new engagement interventions will raise participation and staff engagement in research amongst our diverse colleague base. The post holder will build measurement into everything they do, testing and adapting as they go.
