As part of our global team, understanding the patient will be at the heart of your work. Our Patient-Reported Outcomes team is involved in qualitative patient research to evaluate and communicate the benefit of medical interventions while ensuring that the patient’s voice is heard. The team provides critical data to support our clients in getting their products approved, differentiated and properly prescribed and reimbursed.

Mapi Values did not gain its current excellent reputation in PRO research by chance: it is thanks to the quality of our people and deliverables. As such we provide a dynamic, stimulating and rewarding working environment for ambitious and passionate individuals looking to join a global, world-class consultancy business.

THE POSITION: We wish to appoint a researcher to join our PRO team based in the pretty village of Bollington on the edge of the Peak District and a short distance from the exciting city of Manchester. This is a great opportunity if you are a highly motivated researcher with a genuine interest to enhance your knowledge and skills in healthcare research in a challenging and rapid-moving field. We will provide you with all the necessary training and support for your professional development. In return we expect you to rapidly build on your existing knowledge and skills.

RESPONSIBILITIES: Your role will be exciting and varied in international healthcare research projects. You will perform, analyse and report health-related quality of life, patient satisfaction, and other PRO studies.

  • Interviewing of research subjects
  • Conducting qualitative data analysis
  • Preparation of project documents and development of patient-based questionnaires
  • Liaising with physicians and patient recruitment agencies

You enjoy being part of a team, and will take pride in the achievements of the project team. You will have a degree in health psychology, psychology, sociology or life sciences, plus at least one year of work experience.
