To be filled by
secondment. Indicative salary: £45,486
- £52,706
An exciting
opportunity has arisen in the senior team at WIHSC, which we are looking to
fill by secondment.
This will
appeal to anyone interested in the development and application of policy in
health and social care, who wants to apply critical thinking to some of the key
challenges facing our caring services.
WIHSC is
Wales’ leading academic centre in applied health and social care policy
research, but we are not a conventional University Department. We exist to bridge the divide between
academia and health and social care, carrying out research and developmental
work in a wide variety of contexts, for many different funders. Our aim is to be a critical friend, asking
the questions and seeking the evidence which result in better services. We are self-funding, which helps keep us
useful and relevant.
The post
would suit a wide variety of candidates.
The successful person will probably:
·
have
significant experience in aspects of health and social care policy and practice
·
be
skilled in the critical analysis of policy and implementation issues
·
be
an accomplished communicator
·
be
keen to work hard as a key member of WIHSC’s senior team
We envisage
that the secondment will be for a period of about two years, and will be full
time (or close to full time). It would
equally suit people whose experience is in health, social care or the related
third sector, and who perhaps want to try applying their skills and knowledge
in a research and academic setting.
Within these
parameters, we are very happy to be flexible about the arrangements made for
the secondment in order to get the right person for the job. If you are interested, please discuss your
circumstances at an early stage with the Institute’s Director, Professor Marcus
Longley. Equally, if you’re not sure
whether your experience or current salary fits the profile, please give Marcus
a ring and talk it through. He can be
contacted by phone on 01443 483070 or 07887 705377, or by email on mlongley@glam.ac.uk Further details about WIHSC are
contained on our website http://wihsc.glam.ac.uk/
