Work with colleagues across the NENC health and care system to mobilise evidence across four priority areas for the Integrated Care System (Longer, healthier lives; Fairer outcomes for everyone; Better health and care services, and; Giving our children the best start in life) aligned to the ARC's themes. Support the benefits realisation of ARC NENC research by monitoring emerging evidence in priority policy areas (see above) and making this information easily digestible for decision makers and stakeholders. Undertake knowledge mobilisation work in sprints (6-12 months) to inform key decisions in the health and care system, providing the right information to the right people at the right time. Sprint activity may include: rapid evidence reviews, round-table events with stakeholders and public members, identification of adoption ready research and innovation, strengthening relationships in the region, and presenting relevant evidence in the right context. Working with colleagues in the national KM Network to identify research and innovation developed in NENC that are ready for roll-out in other regions or ready for wider adoption. Similarly, the post holder will identify adoption ready research and innovations from other ARCs and Health Innovation Networks that are relevant to NENC ICS. Consult with public members through the ARC NENC Public Involvement and Community Engagement (PICE) network on priority setting (for the sprints), implementation and mobilising evidence into practice.

Champion the role of Knowledge Mobilisation in the region by engaging with relevant stakeholders and networks, and work closely with our community of practice fellows, dementia, social care and mental health fellows, who are research champions in their respective teams and organisations, and will be key in championing KM more widely. Actively engage with the KM Network and cross ARC network of KM Fellows and support research brokerage within and across ARCs.Collect data on how the evidence mobilised is being used. This could take the form of reflective diaries, observation notes at meetings, document analysis and follow-up interviews with stakeholders to track where the evidence flows within organisations and how confident they are in using data and information to inform decisions. Based on this information, construct outcomes changes for the evidence mobilised and the impact achieved. Please find attached job description for full details.
