Purpose of the post

At HDR UK we want the UK to be the place to do the most impactful health data research and innovation. Embedding Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) through all our activities is integral to this aim and to build on our commitment we have identified EDI as an Institute-wide Priority for 2024/25. This includes the people that make up our workforce, represent us and benefit from the work we support; the perspectives we seek to guide the work we do; the training that the next generation of data scientists need to deliver health data research to make discoveries that improve people’s lives; and the data needed to do that research.  A lack of diversity in any of these areas will hold us back from bringing together the sharpest scientific minds, providing access to richest data, and enabling the greatest range of insights to help prevent, treat and cure disease.

This role is an exciting opportunity to help shape the strategy and delivery of EDI initiatives across HDR UK. We are looking for someone with strong research and delivery skills who takes an evidence-based approach to EDI. The post-holder will work with teams across the institute to accelerate and integrate existing EDI initiatives and identify opportunities to innovate for the future.
