Knowledge Mobilisation Fellow

The Knowledge Mobilisation Fellow will play a strategic role in bridging the gap between research, evidence, and decision-making across the Greater Manchester health and care system. The postholder will act as a specialist knowledge mobilisation practitioner, working across organisational boundaries to support the systematic identification, synthesis, translation and mobilisation of high-quality research and evidence into real-world practice., Working autonomously and in partnership with the NHS GM Chief Clinical Officer, the GM/NIHR ARC-GM Knowledge Mobilisation Lead, academic partners, system leaders, clinicians, providers, VCSE organisations and communities, the postholder will:

• Identify local and regional evidence needs aligned to GM priorities, digital transformation in healthcare and population health challenges
• Translate complex research and data into accessible, actionable insights that inform commissioning, policy development, service redesign, and system transformation.
• Build and sustain relationships and networks across research, practice and policy to promote a culture of evidence-informed decision-making.
• Act as a system broker, enabling two-way communication between researchers and decision-makers, ensuring evidence needs are articulated, understood, and met.
• Develop, deliver and evaluate activities that support implementation, adoption and spread of evidence-based interventions across the system.
The role requires significant political acumen, excellent communication skills, high levels of analytical capability, and the ability to navigate complexity in a large, multi-agency environment. The postholder will contribute to NHS GM's ambitions to reduce inequalities, improve outcomes and embed learning and knowledge-driven improvement across the system.

Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are partnerships of health and care organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up services and to improve the health and wellbeing of people who live and work in their area. Their purpose is to improve outcomes in population health and healthcare; tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access; enhance productivity and value for money and support broader social and economic development in their area efficiency. This will be delivered in neighbourhood, place, combinations of places and GM system. Our NHS People Promise - the promise we must all make to each other, to work together to improve the experience of working in the NHS for everyone. Like many other employers, NHS GM currently has evidence of unwarranted inequalities in the workforce, most notably in relation to minoritised ethnic, female and\or disabled staff and their intersectionality. As a result, we will use positive action measures to bring benefits to our organisation, including a wider pool of talented, skilled, and experienced people from which to recruit and a better understanding of the needs of a more diverse range of customers.
