Our vision is: To create a Life Science District in the centre of London, dedicated to scientific and medical innovation to improve health for people locally and globally. SC1 is seeking an advisor to understand the potential scale and scope for employment, skills, and enterprise delivery, as well as considering how life sciences employers can be supported to deliver employment & skills opportunities, including apprenticeships, paid internships, work experience, self-employment and youth and schools' engagement. Research should build upon existing foundational research and strategy development that has been produced at a national level, including from the Science Industry Partnership, and support the creation of a localised approach through SC1 which will meet the needs of local communities. Acknowledging that this piece of research is broad in scope, requiring from an advisor a sound understanding of both the life sciences sector specifically and employment, skills, and enterprise delivery more broadly, SC1 is open to a partnership between organisations with complementary knowledge and expertise. This can be discussed further upon receipt of a proposal. The research output will help inform the development of an employment and skills strategy and delivery model for SC1, which at a high level will seek to: • Create a wide range of life sciences jobs, and those associated through development, etc. • Widen participation enabling new recruits to enter the sector, either as young people following a Life Sciences career path through their learning, as older people who will require training to enter the sector, or through self-employment opportunities • Align to and complement strategies promoting routes into wider health and research sector jobs A full specification is provided alongside this form with further details on the brief and scope of the research.
