Do you want to be part of a national network supporting the delivery of health and care research across England? Are you experienced in providing high-level Personal Assistant support to senior leaders? Can you manage multiple priorities and adapt quickly to changing demands?

You will be responsible for providing Personal Assistant support to the NIHR Director of Communications and also support their most senior direct reports.

You will provide mutual support to colleagues in your team and will be positive and flexible in the way you approach your work. You will work collaboratively with individuals and groups across the NIHR and with external stakeholders in a host of settings.

This role requires some national travel.

The RDNCC is one of a number of contracts through which Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) research funding is distributed. The DHSC is currently undertaking a tender process to determine where some functions within these contracts will be hosted. It is expected that this role, and others within the same RDNCC function, will need to move to a new employing organisation from the start date of the new DHSC contract (expected to be from April 2027). This change of employment would be managed under a ‘TUPE’ process.

This role will be based in the RDNCC office on Queen Street, Leeds or in Bishopsgate, London. We work in a hybrid way with an expectation that all RDNCC staff spend at least 40% of their time office. We are also open to discussing other flexible working arrangements.
