What we do: Our purpose is to improve patients' lives by informing healthcare decisions.

Work experience in a related research or health setting is desirable but not essential. You should ideally have knowledge and experience of literature review methodology, qualitative/quantitative analysis, and research design including data collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination.

Fluency in Microsoft Office packages, organisational skills, self-motivation, and attention to detail is essential, along with a teamwork ethos and an appetite for working in a fast-paced, fun environment.

How you fit in: You will join a dynamic team of researchers with a passion for excellence in research and client service. You will have a genuine interest in understanding, evaluating, and communicating the patient perspective. You will have the opportunity to learn about many different health conditions and develop your skills in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research.
You will be involved in studies focused on the selection, development and psychometric validation of COAs. You will be involved in a range of research activities including conducting literature reviews, developing study protocols and statistical analysis plans, preparing study documentation for ethical review, the recruitment and interviewing of study participants, data analysis, the reporting of study findings, and writing conference abstracts/posters, and journal manuscripts. You will be involved in multiple projects at any one time, so good communication and organisational skills are essential.
As part of our international team you will work closely with colleagues based in the UK and/or US.
