Senior Project Officer- Health Inequalities Partnership

The RHO has recently been awarded a transformative five-year grant from The National Lottery Community Fund as part of its Health Inequities Partnership. We are one of nine organisations, known as the Health Inequities Partners, working together alongside the National Lottery Community Fund to drive structural change to address ethnic and racial health inequities. The RHOs Health Inequities Programme builds on our activity to date, identifying and tackling the entrenched ethnic and racial inequities experienced by minoritised ethnic patients, communities, and healthcare staff across England.

Working with the Health Inequities Partners and the National Lottery Community Fund, the RHO will facilitate joint learning to shape Partnership activity and achieve shared goals, including through mobilising evidence, engaging communities, influencing national policy, and implementing practice change.,

• Lead project management across a portfolio of projects within the RHOs Health Inequities Programme, ensuring delivery against agreed objectives, milestones, and outcomes.
• Coordinate programme planning, governance, reporting, and performance monitoring across multiple work streams.
• Work with delivery partners, suppliers, community organisations, and NHS stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time and to a high standard.
• Monitor project budgets and commissioned activity, supporting effective financial management and oversight.
• Support the delivery of innovative projects focused on research equity, anti-racism, community engagement, and improving health outcomes.
• Help drive a nationally significant programme designed to tackle structural racism and improve race equity across the health system., The RHO is hosted by The NHS Alliance. Its board and team are independent, and it dictates its own direction and areas of focus. The RHO has three main functions:
  Facilitating new, high-quality, and innovative research and evidence making strategic policy recommendations for change. Supporting the practical implementation of those recommendations.
  The NHS Race and Health Observatory (RHO) is an independent organisation, set up to explore ethnic inequalities in access to healthcare, experiences of healthcare, health outcomes, and inequalities experienced by Black and minority ethnic members of the health and care workforce.
