The post holder will work closely with the R&D Manager to make sure that the strategic direction of the Office team aligns with the wider department and that team priorities reflect this. This is an excellent opportunity to work with, and lead, a friendly and professional research office team who are keen to develop further. The position is a substantive, full-time role, site based in Portsmouth Hospitals Universities NHS Trust. However, as the Research Department is a Single Corporate Service across PHU and IWT collaborative working is imperative and as such occasional travel between sites is required. Equally this role requires some travel for external meeting, with the opportunity for some flexible working arrangements. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in a team looking to grow and achieve the highest possible standards. We have a culture of teamwork, continuous improvement and learning from everything we do. Please note, this position has also been advertised on the Portsmouth Hospitals University Trust's jobs page. If you are interested in this position and wish to apply, there is no requirement for you to submit two separate applications.
