Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement Coordinator (Fixed term)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Co-ordinator to join our vibrant and multidisciplinary team at NIHR MindTech HealthTech Research Centre, based at Jubilee Campus.

The role holder will work closely with MindTech's senior PPIE manager to provide comprehensive support for the administration and delivery of patient and public involvement and engagement activities across a wide variety of research projects.

You must have significant experience of working accurately with finance or numerical data, as well as experience of facilitating small groups such as workshops and focus groups. You will have a proven ability to support and build relationships with people with lived experience of mental health difficulties. Experience of patient and public involvement, peer work or equivalent would be desirable.
