The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) was formed on 1 April 2005, when the National Institute for Clinical Excellence took on the functions of the Health Development Agency to create a single excellence-in-practice organisation responsible for providing national guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention and treatment of ill health.
The Centre for Health Technology Evaluation develops guidance on the use of new and existing medicines, treatments and procedures within the NHS.
The Technical Adviser will be responsible for ensuring the technical quality of the outputs of the Appraisals Team and for the line management of a group of health technology analysts. This involves providing leadership on technical issues, reviewing and quality assuring the work of the team of technical analysts, contributing to the training and development of new and existing members of staff, and leading the development of high-quality methodological practice across the Appraisals Programme. These roles are in addition to acting as Technical Lead on some appraisals, and include participating in appeal hearings and providing scientific advice to technology developers.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence offers a dynamic and friendly working environment where teamwork is highly valued. Personal development is also considered a priority and is supported through extensive training and development opportunities open to all employees.
