The National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) funds Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs) as experimental medicine centres of excellence via competitive application every five years. Manchester BRC has recently been renewed (£60.4million over five years) to provide experimental medicine infrastructure funding across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and South Cumbria. A diverse workforce reflective of the communities we serve and who are well supported with bespoke education and training is key to delivering our aims.

An exciting opportunity has opened for an Education and Training Manager for the NIHR Manchester BRC. We are looking for a motivated person with experience of delivering strategies and passionate about developing an inclusive research workforce. As part of the BRC Senior Leadership Core Team you will be responsible for the delivery of our BRC Education and Training strategy, bringing together partners from across Greater Manchester’s R&I academic and clinical ecosystem.

The post-holder will act as a point of contact for the BRC and CRF Operational Directors, executive groups and research teams for EDI, education and training activities across the BRC and will report progress via the BRC and CRF governance structures.

The Education and Training Manager will have direct line management responsibility for the CRF Training Coordinator and will oversee the BRC-linked workload for the MAHSC/BRC Training Coordinator.
