Summary
We are seeking two or more temporary Research Assistants to join the ProACTIVE research team, which is examining the impact and effectiveness of Alcohol Care Teams in England. This is an exciting opportunity for self-motivated researchers to join a highly experienced team funded by the National Institute for Health Research (https://fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR152084 ).
These positions will be based at St Helier Hospital, Wrythe Lane, Carshalton, Surrey SM5 1AA, where the successful candidates will work with Dr Amir Halim (Principal Investigator) to deliver the ProACTIVE research study. The post holders will be employed by the University of Hull and will be accountable to Professor Thomas Phillips and report to Dr Philippa Case, the ProACTIVE Research Fellow and Trial Manager. They will also have an honorary contract with Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.
Successful candidates will be based at St Helier Hospital for the majority of their time. As such we would welcome applications from candidates who live locally to the area, or within a practicable travelling distance. There may be some occasional travel required as part of the role to the University of Hull for the purposes of induction, training and team meetings.
The successful candidates will recruit patients with lived experience of alcohol dependence to a quasi-experimental study. They will be based within St Helier Hospital, where they will work closely with the Principal Investigator, clinical research nurses and ward staff to identify and recruit participants, take informed consent, conduct research questionnaires and enter data.
The ideal candidates will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, in addition to experience of administering psychometric tests, and engaging with vulnerable people in clinical or research settings.
These posts are for a period of up to 6-months with variable hours across the 7-day week available. The roles are flexible, and hours will be dependent upon progress with participant recruitment. We require 10 patients to be recruited to this study per week.
