An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Co-ordinator to join our vibrant and multidisciplinary team at NIHR MindTech HealthTech Research Centre, based at Jubilee Campus.
The role holder will work closely with MindTech’s senior PPIE manager to provide comprehensive support for the administration and delivery of patient and public involvement and engagement activities across a wide variety of research projects. You will have responsibility for organising and facilitating meetings and workshops and supporting lived experience volunteers to take part in activities.
