We are currently recruiting a Business Planning Manager to join our National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) Co-ordinating Centre to help us achieve our mission to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research.
Who are we?
We are an National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Co-ordinating Centre, hosted within the School of Healthcare, Enterprise and Innovation. The NIHR helps to fund, enable and deliver world-leading health and social care research that improves people's health and wellbeing and promotes economic growth. Our research helps turn discoveries into new or improved treatments, diagnostics, medical technologies and services. It provides those working in the NHS, public health, global health and social care with the evidence they need to better support patients, the public and people who need care.
What will you do?
This is a varied role where the post-holder will be responsible for managing our business planning framework and corporate risk register. You will also ensure that all organisational and contractual reporting requirements are met. You will help to develop and implement a clear, agreed process for the development and review of service business plans to feed into the overarching business plan. You will also be responsible for maintaining and implementing an agreed process for handling new, additional work requests from Department for Health and Social Care. There will be some project management of the more complex medium and long-term administrative functions as well as a need to apply robust analytical skills and knowledge of business planning to inform decision making by senior management.

- Proven project and people management skills
- Able to plan and manage major new projects or significant new activities, ensuring plans complement broader organisational strategy
- Strong relationship building skills with the ability to effectively negotiate/influence others
- Flexible approach to work and able to manage conflicting priorities
