Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a detail-oriented Reward Analyst to provide analytical and operational support across reward and workforce planning. Working closely with the Reward and Workforce Planning Partner, you will support job benchmarking, market analysis, compensation-cycle activities and workforce reporting, while helping to maintain accurate reward and job-architecture data.

Despite big improvements in healthcare in our lifetimes, today millions of people in the UK still live in poor health as they get older. Diseases like cancer, dementia, diabetes, and heart disease affect the lives of many people in our communities. Our goal is to create a world-leading resource for health research, to improve our understanding and spot the patterns of how and why common diseases start, so treatments can begin sooner and be more effective.

Our Future Health will be the UK's largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to detect, prevent, and treat diseases. We are a charity, supported by the UK Government, in partnership with charities and industry. We work closely with the NHS and with public authorities across all nations and regions of the UK.
