Welsh Skills Desirable:

This post is advertised as Welsh Desirable. This doesn't mean essential; whilst the candidate doesn't need to have skills in Welsh, we'll consider it an advantage when short-listing and selecting candidates. This isn't 'fluency', just Speaking & Listening skills at Level 3 (equivalent to CEFR B2) or above. Level 3 means basic conversations with patients about their everyday health. For more information, see 'Welsh Language Guidance' in the documents right at the bottom.



The post holder will be responsible for reporting data and supporting the delivery of operational projects (for example, relating to artificial intelligence, service evaluation and quality improvement). Applicants should therefore have experience in supporting different aspects of research delivery / approvals, including project planning, tracking and reporting, and demonstrate excellent attention to detail and the ability to prioritise workload effectively.



This role will act as a key link between the Imaging and Research and Development departments across Wales, Health and Care Research Wales (HCRW) and NIAW, building relationships to support and increase capacity for commercial research.
