This is an exciting opportunity to join a mission-driven organisation at a time of transformation. You’ll play a pivotal role in bridging finance and research, ensuring financial sustainability and impact in tackling some of the most important global challenges.

Our vision is a society free from systemic inequity, shaped by those most affected by injustice. 

We are a Blackpool-based community co-research hub for people who have faced different forms of adversity, including experiences of injustice, prejudice, inequality and discrimination. Together, we seek to address the root causes of inequalities and social injustices through:

Participatory research: an unwavering commitment to modelling and promoting high quality, ethical co-production of research as and alongside community members.

Support for lived experience experts: holistically facilitating lived experience experts to lead and partner in transformative social research and action, including the support systems required to underpin safe and effective engagement.

Convening spaces: acting as the conduit between allies such as universities, local authorities and community organisations to work together as equals on issues we care about.

Systems change action: ensuring co-research and participatory activity includes action towards evidence-based changes to the inequitable systems that impact us.

We are key partners in major multi-year participatory research projects, including Blackpool's Health Determinants Research Collaboration (funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research), and the Coastal Community and Creative Health project (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council). 

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a nimble, innovative and uniquely positioned organisation, setting the agenda in the world of co-research. As a collective, we have identified our strategic priorities for the next three years and we are looking for someone to spearhead these developments, maximise opportunities for the Foundation and drive income generation to support them.
