It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our health economics team
The health economics team currently consists of 22 people, six at senior level (Consultant Health Economist level and above). The team works across many different clinical areas including oncology, haematology and a number of genetic conditions. Precise deliverables vary by project, but typically consist of building de novo / adapting existing cost-effectiveness and budget impact models. Often, they are developed as core elements of health technology assessments for submission to agencies such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC).
Across the team we offer opportunities for project management and line management (with additional training provided if needed, and particularly when at senior level). There are also opportunities to be involved with non-project work to support business development and internal process needs.
Every person at Source is highly valued, and we recognise that individual efforts have a considerable impact on the business’s success.
