About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Administrator to join the IMAB-Qi research team. IMAB-Qi is an NIHR Programme Grant for Applied Research funded project led by the University of Leicester and hosted by NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board. Collaborating organisations are Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Universities of York, East Anglia, Nottingham and Oxford.

We know that one in two people don’t take their medicines as prescribed for a variety of reasons. The Identification of Medication Adherence Barriers Questionnaire (IMAB-Q) is designed to support practitioners and patients to diagnose an individual’s main barriers to taking medicines as prescribed. Each IMAB-Q question is linked to solutions from which the practitioner and patient can select what they feel is a best fit for them. The IMAB-Q combined with the solutions is the IMAB-Qi.

The IMAB-Qi research programme is a five-year project that aims to evaluate whether the IMAB-Qi works to support people to take their medicines as prescribed and is good value for money for the NHS. It will be delivered by healthcare professionals working in general practices during existing medication reviews.

You will be an integral member of the IMAB-Qi research team and your main duties will be to oversee day-to-day administrative activities to support successful delivery of the IMAB-Qi research programme. This is a pivotal role in the important interface between the IMAB-Qi research programme and external stakeholders. Working with the team to build relationships with our key stakeholders, including organisations representing patients, healthcare practitioners and commissioners, will be a core part of the role. You will organise and support meetings, including preparing agendas and minutes.

The research team operates a flexible-hybrid working model and everyone is supported to contribute effectively to ensuring that milestones are delivered in a timely manner. Some members of the research team work remotely and the successful candidate may opt to do this if they wish. If working remotely, there is an expectation that you meet with the University of Leicester research team in person approximately 8 times a year.

This role is available from the 1st September 2024 for a fixed term period initially until the end of May 2027. There is potential for the role to be extended to December 2029 if the funder deems that the research has made sufficient progress against our milestones.

About you

You will need to be an enthusiastic, flexible candidate with experience of working with research teams. You will also be expected to be proactive and highly organised
