About the Role

We’re looking for Shared Lives Panel Volunteers to join our panel and help ensure Shared Lives carers meet Ategi’s high standards.

• Have experience in social care, Shared Lives, or supporting people with additional needs, or
• Are an experienced professional looking to stay connected to the sector, or
• Are studying for a Master’s or PhD in a related field, or
• Are a trainee social worker or early-career professional keen to build your experience

We welcome applications from people at different stages of their careers — what matters most is sound judgement, professionalism, and a commitment to values-led decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

• Read and review Shared Lives carer assessment and re-approval documents
• Take part in panel discussions and contribute informed views
• Support decisions on whether carers meet Ategi’s standards

• 3 March 2026

We are working closely with the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK) and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to grow  clinical research capacity and improve career paths through the aligned Clinical Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF). 

The first NIHR Clinical FLF opportunity represents a coordinated cross funder initiative to strengthen support for clinical academic careers, in response to the findings of the reports commissioned by the Office for Strategic Co-ordination of Health Research. It is therefore open to health and care professionals, as defined by NIHR, doctors and dentists. We will be looking at developing these opportunities to include social workers and researchers from other non-clinical professions.

If you are a senior postdoctoral clinical academic, you can apply to undertake funded research and a bespoke training and leadership development programme.

The seven-year award will provide you with protected research time and leadership development opportunities. It will enable you to transition from postdoctoral researcher to research leadership roles.

We offer Clinical FLFs in partnership with contracting organisations. To apply, your contracting organisation must nominate you and commit to providing significant support. The support offered by your contracting organisation must include:

• contributing to tapered salary costs throughout the fellowship
• committing to the provision of an open-ended UK based independent research or innovation position, to be taken up during or upon the completion of the fellowship
  • this must be in-line with organisational employment policies and practices

You are eligible to apply for nomination if you are an experienced postdoctoral health and care professional who is proposing research within NIHR remit and doesn’t yet hold a professorial post.

Your contracting  organisation must be based in England or Northern Ireland, and committed to providing significant support throughout the fellowship. Visit our Clinical FLF award page for full eligibility details.

Moorfields Eye Charity is interested in funding research in eye health, vision research, ophthalmic related service improvement, education or clinical practice.
