1 week ago
The main task of a Research Assistant will be to support the delivery of grant funded and NIHR funded research projects.
Facilitating the research may involve screening participants for eligibility, data collection such as completing psychometric measures, or completing in depth interviews with participants.
The involvement of service users and carers in research is highly valued and essential for the success of NHS research and the development of future care.
A number of service user and carer groups actively contribute to research in the region, and Research Assistants may be involved with engaging these groups and individuals in portfolio research work.
The Research Assistant may also be assigned other duties in connection with research projects identified by the Trial Co-ordinator (TC), Clinical Studies Officer (CSO), Research Programme Manager (RPM), and the Yorkshire & Humber Clinical Research NetworkWe are a high quality, high performing NHS foundation trust. We are the main provider of specialist mental health and learning disability services in Leeds. We also provide specialist inpatient services in York as well as some highly specialised services across the country.
We employ around 3,000 staff and every year we have contact with over 25,000 service users. Our vision is to provide outstanding mental health and learning disability services as an employer of choice.
Our ambition is to support our service users and carers, our staff and the communities we serve to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
We need people like you to help us achieve our goals; to live our lives free from stigma and discrimination; and to improve the lives of people with a learning disability and mental ill health.
We perform well against local and national targets and in our most recent CQC inspection, 85% of our services were rated good or outstanding.
As a teaching trust with strong links to local universities, we are a centre of excellence for teaching, research and development.
The Research Assistant will be required to verbally communicate pre-prepared research study information to potential participants effectively (service users, carers or staff) in order for them to understand what is involved and provide their consent to participate.
The role requires the collection of data from participants, sometimes lengthy (2-3 hours) complex clinical assessments; recording this in the format provided by the study team (paper or electronic) and may be required to collect other physical health measures such as blood samples, blood pressure, weight etc.
The Research Assistant will be expected to work on a number of different studies at any given time.
If in collaboration, University study teams may deliver study specific training packages therefore the post holder would need to be able to attend these and be willing to attend any other R&D specific training courses as required.
Also required to problem solve within the parameters of the protocol in areas such as low recruitment, dis-engagement, loss of follow up, withdrawal etc.
The research assistant will contribute to working with national study teams to ensure studies are run effectively at local level.
This will include ensuring studies run to time and target by identifying, recruiting and supporting participants with support from the TC, ensuring all local data are accurate and up to date and being a main point of contact for national study teams, providing regular updates as required.
The post holder will be required to drive or travel to other Trust sites and participants' homes for visits, and to conferences, meetings and training in other parts of Yorkshire and nationally.
A large proportion of time will be spent working at a computer using standard keyboard skills, MS programmes such as Word, Excel, and a number of data entry programmes.
They will be required to keep a complete and accurate record of each participant entering a study and ensure this is correctly mapped within the local and national research databases to the recruiting site.
The post holder will be responsible for the collection and storage of data, data entry to a database, reporting to the study team, completing Clinical Research Forms and answering any data queries.
