Cochrane is an international charity. For 30 years we have responded to the challenge of making vast amounts of research evidence useful for informing decisions about health. We do this by synthesising research findings and our work has been recognised as the international gold standard for high quality, trusted information.
Cochrane's strength is in its collaborative, global community. We have 110,000+ members and supporters around the world. Though we are spread out across the globe, our shared passion for health evidence unites us. Our Central Executive Team supports this work and is divided into four directorates: Evidence Production and Methods, Publishing and Technology, Development, and Finance and Corporate Services.
The Consumer Engagement Manager will work as part of Cochrane’s Development Directorate, supporting the production of best evidence for healthcare by contributing to the implementation of Cochrane strategy and priorities relating to consumer engagement and involvement. This will be achieved through developing and maintaining a diverse global consumer community; supporting and facilitating consumer involvement in the broadest possible range of Cochrane activities; disseminating Cochrane evidence; supporting consumer involvement in Cochrane governance; building partnerships with relevant organisation; developing methods to improve the practice of engagement and involvement in systematic reviews, in the governance of the organisation, and in conferences and other settings; contributing to strategies to evaluate the impact of consumer engagement in systematic reviews; and contributing to the development of fundraising and project activity.
