Company Description

ABOUT LGC GRANT MANAGEMENT GROUP

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). We work in partnership with the NHS, universities, local government, other research funders, patients, and the public. The NIHR funds, enables, and delivers world-leading health and social care research that improves people's health and wellbeing and promotes economic growth. We are also a major funder of applied health research in low- and middle-income countries.

DHSC contracts directly with a number of NHS Trusts, universities and life science organisations that together host our two coordinating centres:

These two coordinating centres share operational responsibility for the NIHR.  Their work is directed by DHSC’s Chief Scientific Adviser and by the Director and Senior Management Team of DHSC's Science Research and Evidence Directorate.

Job Description

You will play a key role in the Innovation Programmes team, supporting the day-to-day delivery of a translational funding programme. The programmes we manage include, for example, the NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme and SBRI Healthcare. This role will initially be focused on supporting the i4i programme and its various funding streams.

You will be involved in the commissioning of new competitions, and you will manage a portfolio of exciting projects, led by universities, NHS Trusts or small and medium-sized enterprises, making an impact on the NHS and the UK economy. You are expected to develop close relationships with innovators and entrepreneurs, drive the collection of outcomes, contribute to the generation of case studies and participate in the planning of workshops, webinars and events.

You will act as an ambassador for our funding programmes, representing and promoting them externally to a wide variety of stakeholders, including industry.

You have a good understanding of the UK health innovation ecosystem and an appreciation of current and evolving technology developments and commercial exploitation routes, and ideally you have some experience of working across academia, the NHS and industry.

You will be expected to manage and support other team members and contribute to the continuous improvement of operational processes and working practices.

You need to be comfortable with working to tight deadlines and competing priorities while maintaining a high quality of outputs.
