About Us

Surrey County Council is embarking on an exciting and transformative journey to become a leading edge authority, putting Surrey's people and places at the heart of everything we do. We have great ambitions and by 2030 we want Surrey to be a uniquely special place where everyone has a great start to life, people live healthy and fulfilling lives, are enabled to achieve their full potential and contribute to their community, and no one is left behind.

Engaging meaningfully with our residents is a top priority for us and we have won a number of awards for our work.

Surrey Heartlands ICS is a partnership of health and wellbeing organisations, led by the Integrated Care Board, which includes County Council, local GPs, the voluntary sector and hospitals. These organisations work together with staff, patients, their carers, families and the wider public to support people to live healthier lives. Surrey Heartlands has ambitious plans to become a fully ‘thriving’ system, ensuring local residents have the best opportunities to start well, live well and age well.

About the Role

In this role you will support a team of trained researchers to develop and deliver evidenced-led policies and strategies that provide value for money and improve outcomes for Surrey residents, staff and stakeholders.

You will have specialist knowledge in project management as well as research methods, engagement and involvement and will be able to demonstrate a high level of knowledge and experience in this area. You will plan, manage and deliver a range of activities within your specialist area with high levels of complexity, helping seed, accelerate and embed change using high quality evidence.

The role manages and develops the Surrey Heartlands and Surrey County Council Citizens’ Panel as well as other knowledge tools (other tasks may involve desk research to draw on existing data, managing, commissioning or undertaking primary research) commissioning and delivering quantitative and qualitative primary research.

About You

You must be a self-starter and confident in both managing and delivering research and engagement projects, with support from more senior researchers. Being a well organised person is an essential quality for this role.

Local public services are very contextual depending on their geography, population and resources. While a good understanding of the Surrey context will be useful, as will knowledge of local health systems, local authorities and the application of social research, it is not essential that applicants possess all these skills from the outset. We genuinely encourage applications from candidates from all research backgrounds.

The role will be formally based in Reigate and some travel to other venues in Surrey will be required for specific meetings or workshops. However, since the Covid19 restrictions, home-working has been in place and the proposal is to retain an agile workforce approach, including home working and flexible use of local offices in Surrey.

If you're passionate, enthusiastic about the topics mentioned above and genuinely want to make SCC an organisation that is more representative of its staff and the people it serves, then please apply by uploading your CV and personal statement (no longer than two pages of A4 please) outlining your suitability for this role.
