You will join the UK Advocacy and Health Intelligence Department within the Chief Executive's Directorate. The team is responsible for leading UK strategy development and delivery across advocacy (policy, public affairs, campaigning) and health intelligence, working closely with colleagues across the UK to ensure effective delivery of the strategy in each nation. The department sits in the Chief Executive's Directorate to ensure driving positive change with and for people with arthritis is at the heart of the organisation.

The Department works closely with colleagues across the charity, including Services, Research and Income and Engagement to ensure we are joined up in our approach to arthritis.

About the role
The Researcher is a new, important post at Arthritis UK. Working within our Health Intelligence team, you will lead on providing expertise on the latest relevant research evidence, providing a responsive, robust and balanced assessment of the available evidence and any key gaps to shape the charity's UK advocacy agenda, and drive organisational priorities. Working across a range of issues you will play a crucial role in ensuring that the experiences and needs of people living with arthritis are understood and acted upon, and that arthritis is taken seriously across the UK.

About you
If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we'd love to hear from you:

• In-depth knowledge and experience in working in health-related, research.
• Experience in the synthesis and evaluation of research evidence across a range of sources (including grey literature), including in the design and delivery of rapid reviews.
• Experience in communicating clearly and succinctly to non-technical and non-expert audiences, through both written formats (e.g. briefing papers) and verbally (e.g. via presentations and meetings with senior stakeholders), with a robust approach to accessibility throughout communication.
• Demonstrable understanding of how research can be used to shape policy and practice.
• Experience of consistently applying a range of techniques and research methods applicable to framing research questions, evidence review and research evaluation.
• Able to communicate findings and conclusions clearly to non-specialist and specialist audiences.
• Educated to at least master's degree level or equivalent.

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

Benefits
Your excellent benefits include:

• Flexible hours, environments and working practices to promote a healthy work/life balance.
• Health and wellbeing support - including the Employee Assistance Programme (free confidential 24/7 support with mental health, legal and financial queries).
• Simplyhealth cash plan.
• Supportive and inclusive culture, with a wide range of employee networks and support groups available to join.
• Learning and personal development opportunities.
• Competitive annual leave, with the option to buy/sell up to five days per year.

About us

We want our employees, volunteers and trustees to represent the broad diversity of the communities of which we are a part.

There are over 10 million people living with arthritis. That's one in six, with over half of those living in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes on everyday life - affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as 'just a bit of arthritis'. We don't think that this is OK. Arthritis UK is here to change that.

Arthritis UK is committed to keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from harm. During the recruitment process we will undertake safer recruitment practices and relevant checks to ensure applicants are suitable to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults.

Arthritis UK is a Registered Charity No: 207711 and in Scotland No. SC041156.

We are Hestia. We make a difference.
At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Supported Housing Worker to play a pivotal role in our Criminal Justice Service in Bromley.
Sounds great, what will I be doing?
The role involves providing comprehensive support to service users in accommodation-based services, particularly those with complex needs such as substance misuse, homelessness, and offending histories. Key responsibilities include building positive, professional relationships with service users, supporting them to manage their tenancies, and working towards sustainable independence. Staff are expected to assess individual needs using organisational tools, guide users in developing tailored support plans, and assist them in achieving personal goals, including moving on to more independent living arrangements.
In this position, the emphasis is on empowering service users to improve various aspects of their lives. This includes encouraging them to take responsibility for their health, finances, and behaviour, and supporting their access to necessary services such as healthcare, substance misus
e treatment, and mental health support. The role also involves motivating service users to engage in activities that promote wellbeing and helping them access opportunities in education, training, volunteering, and employment, thereby improving their financial security and life prospects.
The position requires a collaborative and proactive approach, working closely with other professionals, agencies, and colleagues to provide coordinated support. Staff are expected to contribute to service development, maintain accurate and confidential records, and demonstrate a commitment to professional standards and continuous improvement. Flexibility, resilience, and a positive attitude toward change are essential, as is the ability to represent the organisation effectively in interactions with external stakeholders and to contribute to the promotion of its values and service standards.
What do I need to bring with me?
You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn.

We offer a supportive, inclusive and resolution driven work environment where your contributions are recognised and valued. As a member of our team, you will have the chance to grow both personally and professionally while making a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
Here's what the team will be looking for
The ideal candidate will be committed to developing positive, supportive relationships with service users who have complex needs such as homelessness, substance misuse, and a history of offending. They will be adept at using strengths-based and person-centred approaches to help individuals maintain independence and work toward personal goals, especially around securing and sustaining accommodation. A strong understanding of assessment tools and key-working practices is essential, as is the ability to help service users identify their strengths, manage daily responsibilities, and plan for positive move-on, particularly into private sector housing.
The role demands someone who can empower service users to take control of their wellbeing, including addressing substance misuse, managing finances, and engaging in mental and physical health services. The candidate should also be able to support service users in accessing opportunities that enhance their financial and personal development, such as employment, training, and volunteering. Effective liaison with other professionals and agencies is critical to delivering coordinated support, and the ability to advocate for service users during case conferences and care planning is a key aspect of the role.
The person must be a proactive and collaborative team player who upholds high professional standards and contributes to service improvement. They should demonstrate resilience, a willingness to adapt positively to change, and a commitment to promoting the organisation's aims. Strong administrative skills, confidentiality, and timely record-keeping are crucial.
