The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.
Working age health is declining in many places, more people have dropped out of the labour market due to ill health and policy isn't keeping pace with changes to health and how the types of work people do affects their health.
This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting new initiative to examine - and to change - these fundamental issues at the heart of our economic and social future. We are setting up a commission supported by a secretariat based in the Health Foundation working in collaboration with research partners, leading experts, employers, workers and local people affected by poor health and unequal working conditions. It will produce and commission new insights, develop consensus and generate solutions to influence policy and practice in the run up to, and in the aftermath of, the next general election.
We are seeking a talented policy and research manager with health and/or employment policy expertise to produce and commission new research, analysis and policy development to a high standard and to challenging timescales. You will have a track record in managing major policy research projects, including coordinating multiple stakeholders and demonstrating your impact on public debate and policy. You will be a collaborative team-player, willing to deputise for the Head of Secretariat and to coordinate the administration of the programme with the Policy and Programme Officer.
You will share our values and our passion for improving health and reducing inequalities.
