Job Description
This is an exciting and varied role within a growing team working within health research in Greater Manchester. Vocal (www.wearevocal.org) creates opportunities for people to find out about, and have a say in, health research. By bringing together patients, carers, artists, researchers, scientists, and others to share their views, expertise, and lived experiences, we deliver creative, innovative, award-winning programmes that enhance health and research. Based in Greater Manchester, we work locally, nationally, and internationally to make a real difference.
We are part of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Manchester (MBRC) (www.manchesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk) and Manchester Clinical Research Facility (MCRF) (www.research.cmft.nhs.uk/facilities-services/clinical-research-facility).
This role will be key in supporting the development and delivery of patient and public involvement and engagement activities to support the work of the Manchester BRC.
