This role will work alongside the Head of Partner Liaison and Planning to co-lead the work of the Study Support Service Team with a focus on out of hospital settings.
This role will liaise with NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN) research Delivery Organisations across all settings to ensure they are effectively supported by the Agile Research Delivery Team. The post holder will be responsible for fostering and nurturing productive relationships with regional partners, including both commercial and non-commercial study teams/sponsors, research site delivery personnel, and senior research leadership within Delivery Organisations.

In October 2024, the NIHR Clinical Research Network changed to become the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN). The RDN will build on the successes of the CRN in supporting the effective and efficient initiation and delivery of funded research across the health and care system in England for the benefit of patients, the health and care system, and the economy.
The RDN will support:
* Clinical trials and other well-designed health and social care research studies (including studies that are delivered outside of an NHS setting);
* Public health studies that require the recruitment of individuals within an NHS setting or an episode of care which involves contact with the NHS.
The RDN is a new organisation with new structures, governance, and ways of working. Study delivery in England will be supported through 12 NIHR Regional Research Delivery Networks (RRDNs) which will work with the national Coordinating Centre (RDNCC) and the Department of Health and Care to provide a joint RDN leadership function.
