Job description

This role is for a qualitative researcher to work with a UK team of researchers on an NIHR funded study: ‘Evaluating Models of care, best practice and care pathways for drug dependent women and their infants, from preconception to 18 months postnatal’ or the Stepping Stones Study. The study is jointly led by Dr Polly Radcliffe at the National Addiction Centre, KCL and Professor Helen Cheyne of the Nursing Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals Research Unit at the University of Stirling. The study has involved conducting a mixed methods systematic review of interventions for women who use substances in the perinatal period, and conducting longitudinal qualitative interviews with 36 perinatal women who use or are in treatment for substance use in four sites in the UK. Using a range of qualitative research methods including serial qualitative interviews and timelines drawn by the research participants we have explored women’s views and experiences of models of care and how services can be improved.

The National Addiction Centre, King’s College is a leading European research centre for addiction research and represents a network of clinicians, researchers and clinical teachers who have a shared commitment to excellence in prevention and treatment work, and to supporting and strengthening national and international endeavours in this field. Over the last 30 years, the NAC has developed a body of research evidence that has informed the development of new treatment services for alcohol, smoking and drug problems in the UK.
