Location: Cheadle
Reporting To: Head of Researcher Enablement
Compensation: £30,000 / year
At UK Biobank, our mission is to enable world-class research that improves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Behind that mission sits a rigorous and carefully managed access process ensuring researchers across the world can use UK Biobank data responsibly and effectively.
We’re now looking for a Researcher Administrator to join our team. This is a role for someone who enjoys working with data, processes, and scientific information and wants to contribute to research at global scale.
As a welcoming and inclusive organisation, we value accuracy, collaboration, and people who take pride in enabling high-quality research behind the scenes.
You’ll provide administrative and scientific review support across the Epidemiology and Researcher Enablement teams, helping ensure research applications and annual reports are reviewed thoroughly and efficiently.
This is an interdisciplinary role where you’ll gain exposure to the breadth and scope of research conducted using UK Biobank data — processing thousands of applications and reports each year. You’ll work closely with colleagues across Access and Epidemiology, providing scientific input and ensuring databases and records remain accurate and up to date.
You’ll also engage with senior stakeholders across UK Biobank and NDPH, contributing to smooth day-to-day operations within a quality-focused environment aligned to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 standards.
To be successful, you will have:
Working hours are 35-hours per week, Monday to Friday with some flexibility, 3 days onsite with hybrid working available. Located in Greater Manchester (initially based in Stockport with a move to Manchester Science Park mid to late 2026). Occasional travel will be required to Oxford, London, and Imaging Centres.
Our passion for diversity and equality means creating a work environment for all employees that is welcoming, respectful, engaging, and enriched with opportunities for personal and professional development.
Colleagues at UK Biobank often highlight feeling supported, included, and connected to meaningful work, with wellbeing and work–life balance genuinely valued across teams.
