National Costing and Attribution Manager

The University of Leeds has been chosen by the UK government to lead the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Research Delivery Network Coordinating Centre (RDNCC), and will be joined by 12 new Regional Research Delivery Networks (RRDNs), hosted by NHS organisations across the country to form the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN). The new NIHR RDN will operate as one unified organisation across England, balancing regional context, expertise and leadership with national coordination and strategy involving government policymakers. The RDNCC will work across England's health and care system, with staff in all settings, to support the effective and efficient initiation and delivery of research.
You will be responsible for managing the processes required to oversee cost attribution and assure the content of the costing tools (SoECAT/ICT) are available to funders, sites and sponsors. You will be responsible for managing the use of these data to drive the National Contract Value Review process, excess treatment cost payment and to help networks assess study support cost burden.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues within the RDNCC and, as required, across the RDN and the University of Leeds, and with external stakeholders in a host of settings. You will support the operational delivery of the organisation-wide shift in ways of working and culture that is required to ensure the network functions as a single organisation with a shared purpose and vision across England, as well as mutually supporting colleagues and managing your own team through the period of transformation and beyond.
This role may require some national travel.
