About You

We are seeking a positive team player, who is methodical, analytical, solution focused with an aptitude for prioritising key tasks and coordinating multiple activities.

The ideal candidate will have worked on Cochrane systematic reviews, possess excellent communication skills and have the ability to lead on projects, deliver presentations, allocate tasks and maintain excellent customer service with internal and external stakeholders.

Report writing, data analysis, quality assurance and experience of working in cross-sectoral collaborative research teams are key skills suited to this role.
