The Academic Unit for Ageing and Stroke Research (ASR) is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly organised and motivated Research Fellow to undertake newly funded work which aims to build capacity in social care to support the wellbeing of older people. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading research centre, working in collaboration with local authority colleagues, in an exciting role to implement high quality social care research addressing the needs of the ageing population.

The post holder will meaningfully engage with the social care sector to enhance research activity and outputs, so that research methods and evidence generated are relevant and appropriate to a wide diversity of the ageing population. This will include working with local authority colleagues and home care providers to specify aims and objectives, evaluation methods, collate routine data as well as generate new data, to meet these objectives.

The role will involve contributing to data collection and analysis, which may involve conducting surveys, interviews with staff and older people, focus groups and co-production workshops. This project is implemented in Yorkshire and Humber so travel to within the region will be required.
