Description
Southampton Academy of Research (SoAR) Associate Director: Call for expressions of interest University of Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHSFT) and University of Southampton (UoS) are inviting expressions of interest for the role of Southampton Academy of Research (SoAR) Associate Director with particular responsibility for nurses, midwives, allied health professions, pharmacists and health care scientists, hereafter referred to as the health professions (commonly referred to as NMAHPPs). We are, given expansion in SoAR’s commitments, looking to appoint two individuals, anticipating that each individual will commit 0.2 WTE. The Southampton Academy of Research launched in 2016 to ensure Southampton's healthcare research community grows and thrives through: • building capacity and capability of our workforce through the coordination and provision of highquality research training • promoting a culture that encourages and enables individuals to develop research-related skills, knowledge and experience and apply these skills in practice to advance and improve patient care. The Trust’s new Research for Impact strategy seeks to create an environment where staff have the time and skills to take part in research. The SoAR team will play a considerable role in operationalising commitments in the new strategy around workforce development and culture. Only thoughts were around thinking about the wider workforce research engagement piece in terms of how do we create opportunities? / Initiatives for all healthcare professions to engage at all levels with research. SoAR exists to inspire and support early career researchers in all health-related disciplines across the Southampton partnership, providing a focal point for research-related career development and training and a hub for Southampton’s vibrant and inspiring health-related research community. The partnership seeks to appoint two individuals to work with SoAR’s Executive Director and Associate Director with responsibility for doctors and research scientists. These individuals will lead the development and delivery of implementation plans to realise the relevant strategic goals of UHSFT’s Research for Impact strategy and contribute to the broader ambitions of the strategic partnership between the Trust and University. Post holders will contribute to development of opportunities and initiatives designed to facilitate engagement of our healthcare professional workforce in many and varied ways, recognising every role and every professional is important - whether they're leading research in their field of interest, a co-applicant or principal investigator for studies, advising sponsors or sites about the shape and feasibility of their research, or taking a leading and essential role in recruitment and delivery of studies. Specifically, we wish to appoint two individuals employed by either UHSFT or University of Southampton, and an appreciation and passion for developing the research careers and contribution of nurses, midwives, allied health professions, pharmacists, and healthcare scientists. The portfolio of responsibility for each Associate Director will be negotiated on an annual basis, ensuring there is parity of activity and responsibilities across the two roles. These roles are being made available for 24 months in the first instance, potentially renewable. The successful candidates will have leadership and management skills, a PhD and a track-record of involvement in activities designed to build health research capacity and capability. Expressions of interest should be made through submission of a curriculum vitae (CV) and covering letter to Soar@uhs.nhs.uk. The covering letter should detail your reasons for applying, and what you would bring to the role. The deadline for submissions of expressions of interest is Friday 19th May 2023. Expressions of interest will be shortlisted. A short interview will be scheduled via MS Teams for shortlisted applicants.
