Isles of Scilly Community Research Network

Network Lead

 

Hours: full-time (37.5 hours per week)

Contract Type: permanent

Location: Isles of Scilly

Salary: £35,100 - £40,950 depending on experience

 

An exciting opportunity is available to join the Isles of Scilly Community Venture (IOSCV) to lead the delivery of a new project – the Isles of Scilly Community Research Network.

 

IOSCV have partnered with the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, Five Islands Academy and the University of Exeter to create a Community Research Network (CRN) for the Isles of Scilly. The objective of the CRN is to enable people on Scilly to undertake research projects that matter to them, their businesses and the community, in collaboration with academic experts. Traditionally, most research has been defined and led by academics, but the CRN will reverse this, giving local people the ability to identify their own research questions and assisting them to find answers. This will involve providing people with the research skills, resources and expertise they need to develop new ideas and implement change.

 

This role will be challenging. However, IOSCV and the wider partnership which governs the Community Research Network are in no doubt that this will be highly rewarding for the right person; it’s a job which has the potential to make a real difference for Scilly.

 

The Network Lead will be responsible for developing and delivering the Isles of Scilly CRN. You will champion community-led research, lead the delivery team, encourage our community to create research projects and ensure the CRN helps those projects to succeed. You’ll be taking on a lot of responsibility but will also receive a lot of support, from the IOSCV team and our champions at the other CRN partner organisations, as well as from our funders.
