Would you like to support the delivery of inclusive Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) activities for a leading research centre in a community organisation? Are you experienced in developing and delivering effective and inclusive PPIE activities within a community setting, evaluating the impact of activities and working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders? Do you have excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a desire to improve patient/public participation in research?  

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) in partnership with the University of Leeds (UoL) manages the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Leeds Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) with funding of £22.24million until March 2028.

To ensure our PPIEP activities are inclusive and equitable for a wide range of groups, we have an on-going partnership with Healthwatch Leeds. Healthwatch Leeds works with members of the public to make their voice count in health and social care services in Leeds to bring people’s feedback to those who plan and deliver services. This supports the development of PPIE activities with groups that are often not represented in research to ensure the PPIE activities we develop, and deliver are co-produced with Public Partners (by ‘Public Partners’ we mean members of the public, patients, community groups and care givers who you will be working with) and are accessible, meaningful, and relevant to a wide range of audiences.

Working closely with the Community PPIEP Co-ordinator you will be supporting the development and delivery of a variety of PPIE activities for the NIHR Leeds BRC. This includes focus groups, community outreach, events and any other methods to support people to get involved.

You will also work closely with other PPIEP colleagues from across the University of Leeds and Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
