A bit about us...

The Bone Cancer Research Trust (BCRT) is the leading charity dedicated to fighting primary bone cancer. Our mission is to save lives and improve outcomes through research, information, awareness and support. In 2019 we were awarded 'National Healthcare & Medical Research Charity of the Year' at the National Charity Awards and the Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Fundraising named our Fundraising & Communications Team 'Fundraising Team of the Year'. We are a small but incredibly passionate and driven organisation that is proud and supportive of our people. Together we are #TeamBones and we make a big impact for our community. 

About the role...

Are you a science graduate with a passion for data? Would you like to use data to drive improvements for primary bone cancer patients? If so, this exciting new role may be for you.

The Senior Research & Advocacy Officer will support the Research, Information & Support Team in interpreting, analysing and reporting on a large cohort of primary bone cancer data, obtained from multiple sources, to understand how these factors affect outcome and to use this knowledge to accelerate our commitment to address these.

The successful candidate will be central to supporting the charity’s advocacy and research activities, helping to ensure our advocacy, and influencing work delivers the maximum possible impact for primary bone cancer patients.

The successful candidates will be offered a 12 months contract in the first instance.

About You...

You will have significant experience in quantitative and qualitative research data analysis and a good understanding of statistical methodology. 

The post holder will be organised and will be able to manage several tasks at once, meeting strict deadlines.  Given the current situation, all employees of the Bone Cancer Research Trust are currently home-based and so it is imperative that the post-holder is a self-starter and able to plan and carry out work independently. As we are a small team, a team-player attitude is a must, as well as a positive and can-do approach. 

The application process...

• Application form submission closing date: 17th January
• Shortlisting and telephone interviews: W/C 18th January
• Interviews (via Zoom): W/C 25th January

For more details please see the full Job Description. 

Are you a confident researcher who would like to use your skills to amplify the voices and experience of Deaf and disabled people in Barnet?  Do you have your own lived experience of disability (which could include a long term condition or mental health issues)? 

We are looking for an enthusiastic self-starter to take on an exciting two year project to understand disabled people’s experience of the social care system.  Using surveys and interviews, and supported by a steering group of users who you will work with closely, you will build a picture of how much people feel the support they receive is helping them achieve independence and the outcomes they aspire to.  You’ll use that information to build reports and recommendations, culminating in a conference to share learning and hear from other areas about how to build best practice in support and co-production.

A natural relationship builder, you will be able to adjust your communication style to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, from users to senior council staff to other London DDPOs.  You’ll also be able to write clearly, persuasively and accessibly, creating reports and information that people want to read.  You’ll also be able to advocate effectively for greater co-production and make a positive case for change, sensitive to the perspective of a range of stakeholders but able to find solutions and suggestions that build user involvement.

You’ll hold overall responsibility for our user voice work, overseeing the work of our User Voice Lead and ensuring that there is effective shared learning between different projects.  Supervisory experience would therefore be an asset, but we are also open to applications from talented disabled people looking to move into their first management role.  Confidence to conduct high-quality research independently with minimal supervision is essential, however.

This is a great opportunity to create a really impactful piece of work and influence thinking on approaches to Adult Social Care.  The work is Barnet-based, but we hope it will be influential far beyond the borough.  So we’re looking for someone committed to making a difference, who will take this opportunity and help create positive change. 

In return, you will become part of a friendly and supportive team, working within a focused but flexible culture, where diversity is valued and you can bring your whole self to work.

The role is based in Colindale, but with some flexibility for homeworking days.  The role is totally home based during lockdown. 

Interviews will be in early February, with the successful candidate commencing in post 1st April. To apply, please submit your CV and a full cover letter explaining how you would use your lived experience of disability to inform your work, as well as detailing your research experience.
