As a member of the Senior Management Team, I work closely with the Chief Executive and other Directors to ensure the smooth and effective running of the organisation and am an ambassador for our work. I am committed to the value of shared leadership, and therefore working closely with Heads within the research team focus on building an inclusive learning culture which supports development of the team as well as delivering high quality outputs. In an external capacity, I work to increase the scope of our stakeholder relationships and opportunities for strategically important research projects. I act as the point of expert guidance and quality assurance for research team proposals and projects, and our ongoing development of the Peer Research Network, Institute for Community Studies and core research team so they are optimally structured for delivering our mission.
