About this role
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated graphic designer Communications Lead for the development and delivery of communications, engagement and knowledge exchange for the NIHR/ESPRC funded SEISMIC SHIFT research project. The system design led health research project seeks to improve the lives of people living with multiple long-term conditions.
In summary, this role has both applied and strategic aspects to it and will involve:
production of key communication and engagement assets for the project, maintaining and developing project profile and visibility across a number of media spaces (from physical exhibitions to digital platforms and social media) strategic planning and implementation of project communications.
SEISMIC SHIFT (Systems Engineering Innovation Hubs for Multiple Long-Term Conditions: Systemic Health Innovation for Transformation) is an Innovation Partnership funded jointly by the NIHR and EPSRC as part of a £25m investment to improve the lives of people living with multiple long-term conditions. Our vision is to move from disease-based to symptom-focused health delivery - whole person, whole system, whole life. This collaborative research programme brings together the University of Strathclyde, NHS partners, systems design and engineering researchers, clinical and health-services researchers, health and care professionals, patients, carers, and a broad ecosystem of industry and public-sector stakeholders. Together, we aim to drive systemic health innovation transformation. SEISMIC SHIFT is developing and implementing new system-based approaches to re-configuring health and care delivery. By conducting a series of interventions across three integrated workstreams, the partnership is generating research insights and translational knowledge to strengthen and embed systems expertise in real-world health delivery. Our overarching goal is a system-based redesign of health and care that shifts the focus from disease specialisms to symptom clusters - reflecting lived experience and enabling more personalised, comprehensive, and preventative care. This includes attention to modifiable risk factors, health promotion, and a wider salutogenic vision for health and care provision.
