We are creating a future where science is more relevant, representative, and connected to society.

We have ambitious goals to put people at the heart of science.

About the role

The EDIS Community and Engagement Officer will provide the coordination, communication and relationship-building needed to support the growth, participation and value of the EDIS membership community.

The role will support day-to-day member onboarding, engagement activity, communications, events and community-building processes across the EDIS portfolio. It will ensure that members are supported to connect with each other, contribute to EDIS priorities and access opportunities to learn, share and collaborate. You will work with the EDIS team and with BSA communications team colleagues to support their work.

A central focus will be building effective, inclusive and accessible routes for member participation. Working with EDIS members, partners and colleagues across the British Science Association, the postholder will help to ensure that engagement activity is joined up, responsive to member needs and focused on meaningful participation across the science and health research sector.

This role would suit someone who combines strong organisational approaches with proactive communication, relationship building, and a commitment to and knowledge of equity, diversity and inclusion. The successful candidate will be confident supporting communities, networks and membership groups, helping to strengthen the EDIS community while ensuring that engagement, communications and events are delivered effectively.

Key responsibilities

  • Support day-to-day member onboarding and support processes, ensuring new and existing members understand how to participate in EDIS activity.
  • Coordinate with the Communications Team to develop member communications, newsletters and engagement content, ensuring activity is joined up, accessible and responsive to member needs.
  • Plan and support delivery of events, workshops, peer learning sessions including ‘special interest’ groups and network activity that create practical opportunities for members to learn, share and collaborate.
  • Maintain accurate membership records, contact lists and engagement data, supporting clear information flow across BSA, EDIS members and partners.
  • Gather member insight and feedback, identifying themes, opportunities and barriers to participation that can inform programme design and delivery.
  • Apply inclusive practice in all communications, events, engagement activity and member support, reflecting a clear commitment to and knowledge of equity, diversity and inclusion.
  • Support membership growth and retention by helping demonstrate the value of involvement in EDIS and strengthening routes for member participation.
  • Work with the Research and Policy Officer and Programme Manager to ensure member insight informs evidence, programme design, engagement activity and delivery.
  • Support the production of accessible resources, meeting materials and event content that help members connect with each other and contribute to EDIS priorities.
  • Contribute to the promotion of EDIS activity across sector networks and communication channels, supporting meaningful participation across the science and health research sector.
