An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate to join the School of Health Sciences working with Groundwork East. 

The KTP project is a three-way relationship between a graduate, university, and the charity. This unique opportunity allows a graduate to be based in a charity delivering a high-profile strategic project, drawing on university expertise and support and transferring knowledge into the charity.

As a KTP Associate you will be responsible for leading and delivering a challenging project that directly impacts the charity's work, with the opportunity to be a champion of real change. You will arrange monthly project meetings and report on a quarterly basis to the project steering group known as the Local Management Committee (LMC).

You will receive input and support from an academic team with specialist knowledge and experience relevant to the project and have the opportunity to deliver high impact outcomes within an environmental and community charity, whilst learning at the same time - a significant contribution to your long-term career progression.

As a KTP Associate, you will be employed by the University of East Anglia but will work predominantly at Groundwork East premises at Unit 3 Hill Farm Barns, Ashbocking Road, Henley, Suffolk, IP6 0SA, supervised by both a charity staff member and an academic at the University. 

You will have a relevant Masters degree, or equivalent. A PhD qualification would be advantageous. You will have experience conducting relevant project work, placement and/or work experience, have experience completing regular written reports and contributing to collaborative decision making. An understanding of how to apply research to charity operations, and an ability to deliver a significant and challenging technical project whilst engaging others is also key.

This full-time post must have commenced by 8 September 2025 on a fixed term basis for two years.
