Shape the Future of Public Care at IPC

Join our team at IPC and be a part of an outstanding university institute committed to improving people’s health and wellbeing. As an integral part of Oxford Brookes University, IPC combines academic rigour with practical experience to drive positive change in public care services.

We work collaboratively with a diverse range of partners, including local authorities, health services, and care providers, to develop innovative solutions that enhance service delivery and outcomes. Working at IPC means being at the forefront of public care innovation, contributing to meaningful projects that make a tangible difference in communities across the UK.

IPC is a thriving business. Whilst we operate independently as a small knowledge exchange unit, we are part of Oxford Brookes University, giving us the scale and resources to deliver large consultancy and evaluation projects and provide accreditation to training and development programmes.

We evaluate and develop the areas of public care that matter most to people and as our team continues to grow, we are looking for enthusiastic and curious team players to join us as consultants.
