Responsibilities

• Responsibilities: You will perform a range of administrative, coordination, and technical duties related to client projects within the Health Economics team, as well as supporting company and team initiatives. You will work closely with Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment (HTA) teams to support a wide range of administrative, project coordination and technical tasks. Most of your time will be spent overseeing the delivery of technical projects to our clients in the healthcare sector, identifying and suggesting improvements to processes, and implementing changes to enhance quality and efficiency within the team and, where appropriate, across the wider company. You may also work on internal projects that contribute to the successful operation of your team.
• The Health Economics team develop economic models to inform decisions on the efficient allocation of resources available to healthcare providers, and to communicate these insights to a variety of stakeholders in the healthcare industry. These economic models are quantitative assessments of the impact of healthcare treatments, practices and policies, either through cost-effectiveness analyses or separate cost and benefit considerations.
• The HTA team focus on demonstrating the value of a treatment to help ensure it is made available to patients who could benefit from them. These projects often include the development of health technology assessments, which are formal applications to get drugs approved for use on the NHS. This work includes the analysis and interpretation of clinical evidence and the communication of the findings from simple and complex economic models in a variety of formats.
• Reviewing and ensuring quality and consistency of technical documents, including reports, manuscripts, statistical analysis plans, economic model specification documents, abstracts and posters.
• Supporting with the write up of methods and results of clinical and economic analyses into engaging reports.
• Searching online databases for model inputs and extracting relevant data into Excel.
• Reformatting scientific documents to meet client requirements and/or submission guidelines.
• Assisting Project Managers with client communications and progress reports that enhance customer service.
• Coordinating project team and monitoring of project timelines, in collaboration with the project manager.
• Scheduling meetings, recording minutes and coordinating their distribution.
• Reviewing project budgets, proofreading client proposals, and supporting resource planning to optimise team productivity.
• Managing referencing and preparing reference packs of technical materials.
• Taking ownership of tasks in our project management system to support the correct budgeting and invoicing of projects.
• Helping project teams to keep abreast of the latest sources of information and industry guidelines to inform their project work, and keeping all team resources up to date.
• Organising internal team meetings and activities.

Qualifications

• A degree level or equivalent qualification in a scientific or quantitative discipline (minimum 2.1 or equivalent). Postgraduate qualifications (minimum 2.1 or equivalent) would be an advantage, but they are not a requirement for the role. We welcome applications from candidates with a diverse range of specialisms, including but not limited to; mathematics, economics, physics, computer science, biology, chemistry, pharmacy or medicine.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to understand and interpret the output of complex health economic and statistical analyses.
• Excellent organisational skills and a passion for maintaining high levels of organisation across tasks and processes.
• Exceptional written English for client work, email communication and internal messaging, and effective verbal communication skills across a variety of audiences, including healthcare professionals, patient groups, suppliers, clients, non-scientific colleagues and governmental bodies.
• Being self-motivated and enthusiastic, with a genuine interest in healthcare and an eagerness to learn about new areas of science; the ability to respond to conflicting deadlines, work independently and self-manage your time; self-awareness to reflect on your own performance and a willingness to take ownership of your work and development.
• A commitment to delivering excellent customer service and a desire for collaborative working across project teams to share knowledge and achieve common objectives.
• A "can do" approach, initiative, positivity and creativity to continually improve the service we offer; embodying Costello Medical\'s values of delivering quality work, championing innovation in healthcare, acting with integrity and supporting colleagues.
