The Royal College of General Practitioners is the largest membership organisation solely for GPs in the United Kingdom with over 55,000 members. Our mission is to encourage, foster and maintain the highest possible standards in general practice.

We are looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic, and dynamic individual to join the College’s Research and Innovation team. Are you an excellent problem solver, naturally curious and a skilled analyst and/or researcher? Do you want to help inform the solutions to the challenges facing general practice and our NHS? You will have strong data analysis and visualisation skills, attention to detail and experience of using analysis software (such as Excel, Power BI and R) and ability to draw out meaningful and accessible insights to inform policy and practice.

General practice is the largest branch of the medical profession, and the bedrock of the health service, providing more than a million patient consultations every day. The Policy, Research and Campaigns team is an ambitious and influential team working to understand the challenges facing general practice, to develop policy and practical solutions to these, and influence government at the highest levels to deliver positive change for our members and the health service.

The Senior Research Analyst is responsible for ensuring RCGP’s policy and external affairs activity is supported by strong and credible data and evidence. This will include working with a range of teams and partners, undertaking primary and secondary research and analysis, and commissioning and managing external research suppliers.

If you are a driven, collaborative problem-solver, with strong analytical skills, a demonstrable understanding of research methods, excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an eye for detail, and you are looking for a varied role where you will quickly be able to offer real value and impact, then this is the role for you.

The successful candidate will share our corporate values. In return, the College offers excellent terms and conditions and a supportive environment where you can do your best work.
