However, once the pandemic restrictions ease, the post will require some travel across the East of England. In particular, the postholder will be based one day per week from the ARC East of England offices in Cambridge providing health economic advice to the wider ARC East of England team.
This full-time post is available immediately on a fixed term basis until 30 April 2022. It is anticipated the post may be extended (subject to confirmation of funding being available).
