- support colleagues across our Health Challenge and Discover Research teams embed Research Environment goals within their work.
- contribute to Research Environment’s monitoring of progress against its delivery plan.
- contribute to the creation and development of a diverse and inclusive culture across the organisation, collaborating across departments.
