The School of Life Course & Population Sciences is one of six Schools that make up the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine at King’s College London. The School unites over 400 experts in women and children’s health, nutritional sciences, population health and the molecular genetics of human disease. Our research links the causes of common health problems to life’s landmark stages, treating life, disease and healthcare as a continuum. We are interdisciplinary by nature and this innovative approach works: 91 per cent of our research submitted to the Subjects Allied to Medicine (Pharmacy, Nutritional Sciences and Women’s Health cluster) for REF was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent. We use this expertise to teach the next generation of health professionals and research scientists. Based across King’s Denmark Hill, Guy’s, St Thomas’ and Waterloo campuses, our academic programme of teaching, research and clinical practice is embedded across five Departments.

We are looking for a Project Officer with experience of working within a Stroke Audit project. The successful candidate will have experience of working on a Helpdesk, disseminating healthcare information to clinical staff, creating process documents and resources and checking audit data.

 

The postholder will be part of a highly collaborative and inclusive team and will work to ensure the complex clinical audit quarterly reporting cycle is adhered to, through communicating important deadlines, following stringent data quality checks, and ensuring reports are effectively disseminated on schedule. The postholder will also support the delivery of a number of exciting, emerging workstreams, including those relating to the NHS Long Term Plan (LTP) for stroke.

 

SSNAP is a national healthcare quality improvement programme based in the School of Life Course & Population Sciences at King’s College London. SSNAP measures both the processes of care (clinical audit) provided to stroke patients, as well as the structure of stroke services (organisational audit) against evidence-based standards. Since 2013 more than 700,000 cases have been recorded.

 

Whilst working within the framework agreed with the post holder’s line manager/s, the post holder is expected to manage their own workload and is expected to be flexible in anticipating and responding to shifting and competing demands on their and the wider team’s time.  It is expected that the post will work with minimum regular supervision but will refer to their line-managers for advice on issues which fall outside existing regulatory or policy frameworks.

 

This is a full time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 31st March 2026.
