Research Assistant
6 months ago
Are you someone who cares passionately about research and improving the care and treatment for people with a variety of conditions?
If you are looking for an interesting challenge this may be the team for you.
Two exciting opportunities based in Bedfordshire & Luton have arisen for enthusiastic people to join the Research & Innovation team working to increase, facilitate, and sustain the delivery of high quality research studies at the East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT).
Both represent an excellent opportunity for a motivated and hardworking individual with ambitions for a career in mental health research or to gain hands on clinical research experience as part of our growing and friendly team. You should be able to transfer your previously gained health science knowledge, clinical skills and/ or lived experience of mental distress or of using mental health services to the role.
Research Assistant, RAPID Trial
Working closely with the Centre for Mental Health Research at City, University of London, your role will be to recruit and interview participants into the RAPID trial. RAPID (Remote Approaches to Psychosocial Interventions Delivery) is a three-year randomised controlled trial to evaluate the benefits of remotely delivered, brief psychosocial interventions (safety planning and peer support) designed to help people manage suicidal thoughts and reduce unhelpful psychiatric hospital admissions.
The role will involve working with clinicians from crisis and home treatment teams to support participant recruitment and retention to the trial, interviewing participants at baseline and at follow-up, and contributing to data entry and data management as part of the trial.
This role is for a fixed term of 18 months.
Clinical Studies Assistant
Working as part of a team of Clinical Studies Officers and Assistants, the main duties of the post-holder will be those concerned with identifying, recruiting and supporting service users through the research process as well as providing support as necessary to study teams and clinicians. They will actively promote research amongst clinicians, service users and the wider NHS.
The role is really varied, working across many different studies and with different teams.
This role is for an initial term of 12 months, with the potential for renewal.
Research at ELFT has influenced public and professional debates on policy and clinical issues in mental health care on local, national and international levels. The Trust has led over £20m in competitively awarded research grants and been shortlisted for the HSJ Award Clinical Research Impact for using DIALOG+ to improve patient outcomes in community mental health services. ELFT has a history of collaborative work with universities, including:
- partnering with Queen Mary, University of London on the research Unit for Social and Community Psychiatry, a designated World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre, and the only one specifically for 'mental health services development' in the world;
- fostering an award-winning lived experience advisory group with City, University of London: and
- a new strategic partnership with the University of Cambridge to help tackle major areas of unmet health needs in the community.
The successful applicants will be based at Charter House, Luton for supervision and training, although they will recruit across a variety of clinical specialties within the Trust so you must be willing to be mobile and flexible in your working practices. The roles involve frequent travel to crisis/home treatment teams, community mental health teams, and patient visits throughout Bedfordshire, as well as monthly team meetings which are often held in London.
Key responsibilities of theResearch Assistant, RAPID Trial are:
- To support patient recruitment and retention to the RAPID trial
- To undertake data collection and data management as specified in the RAPID research protocol
- To maintain high standards of communication conducive to effective team work and successful delivery of the research
