Summary

This role is ideal for individuals with a strong background in evidence-based practice, experience in analysing and interpreting complex data alongside a solid understanding of health technology assessment (HTA), including the principles of cost-effectiveness, evidence-based healthcare, critical appraisal and evidence synthesis.

As a HTA Analyst you will:

• be responsible for the development, and quality assurance of NICE technology appraisal guidance, providing technical oversight and leading the assessment of clinical and cost-effectiveness of pharmaceuticals.

• work with multiple stakeholders including academic groups, industry, patient organisations and NICE committees.

• be responsible for writing high-quality technology appraisal guidance, ensuring it is robust, transparent and impactful.

• contribute to the development of methods and technical practice, working with colleagues across the team and the wider organisation.

If you are motivated by meaningful work and passionate about improving health and care through high-quality evidence, we would love to hear from you.

The role can be based in either Manchester or London with hybrid working available.

Interview will take place on 27th and 28th July 2026.

As a HTA Analyst you will be the technical lead on technology appraisals or highly specialised technology appraisals, applying technical expertise in health technology assessment to support evidence-based decision making.

Working within a supportive and collaborative environment, you will:

• Lead the scoping of technology appraisal and highly specialised technology evaluations.

• Work closely with external assessment (academic) groups to ensure complex problems are solved.
