    The Centre for Health Economics (CHE) at the University of York is seeking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to support and manage the NIHR funded project Mental health as a determinant of work: Evaluating the impact of the national NHS Talking Therapies Employment Advisers Programme on mental health, work, inequalities, costs, and the economy (Support2Work). This project is an evaluation of employment advisers in supporting individuals with mental health problems to start, stay in, or return to work, and is in joint collaboration with the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV), University of Sheffield, PCMIS and the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

    The successful candidate will support CHE's Principal Investigator, TEWV and other partners on the successful management of the project. You will help build and maintain key partnerships; identify and manage project risks; design and implement the monitoring, evaluation & learning strategy, communications plan and data management plan; and manage dissemination, PPI and policy engagement activities including the organisation of workshops, meetings and events. You will also work closely with TEWV's Research Manager to ensure any contractual obligations, deliverables and reporting requirements are met.

    CHE is one of the world's most prominent academic health economics research centres. For over forty years it has been committed to the development and application of economics to promote health and wellbeing through the effective, efficient, and equitable use of scarce resources. We are a community of over 100 research staff, support staff, and PhD students. We provide a positive, flexible and supportive working environment, with an inclusive and friendly ethos, where diversity is recognised, valued and celebrated.
