The successful candidate will use a systematic approach to drive performance in the department, providing expert direction in the areas of organisational culture, values, equality, diversity & inclusion (EDI) as well as career development. The post holder will also ensure that these activities are aligned to the department's strategic goals and complement its ethos. Responsibilities will include:

  • Building strong professional relationships with key stakeholders across the University and beyond to foster collaboration, sharing best practice, influencing and inspiring wider change.
  • Presenting complex data and research through reports and summaries as a member of the People and EDI committee and as required the Senior Academic committee and wider department.

You must be a self-directed strategic thinker with the capacity to problem-solve, take initiative, set priorities, and exercise good judgment in an organised and professional manner.

    You will be based in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Radcliffe Primary Care Building, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG as your normal place of work, but you may be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with your line manager.
