IMPACT Facilitator

We have 8 exciting opportunities to join our growing team at IMPACT as Facilitators.

IMPACT is a UK-wide centre for implementing evidence in adult social care, with £15 million funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Health Foundation. IMPACT draws on knowledge from different types of research, the lived experience of people using services and their carers, and the practice knowledge of social care staff.

These roles have been created to work on our 2025/26 projects, across the UK. These part-time roles will play a pivotal part in helping to demonstrate how evidence can be used in adult social care to improve services and lives.

The vacancy locations and topics are:

• Supporting staff to deliver compassionate care/improving support for people with dementia and families - Meeting Centres Scotland, Dundee, Scotland

• Care and support for people who experiencing homelessness - Street Paws, StreetVet, Dogs Trust (Together Through Homelessness) and Newcastle University, North West England
• Improving support for people who are LGBTQ+ - Newham Council, London, England

These posts will be recruited by one of IMPACT's five university partners but located in a host organisation (a local service or social care organisation) across the four nations of the UK. Post holders will work with these organisations, as detailed below, and with our delivery leads as well as IMPACT's broader team of operational and strategic colleagues, and Leadership Team.
