Research Fellow

This post will support the successful completion of the funded research project: Recognising and Supporting Distance Dementia Care (CONSIDER).

CONSIDER is an 18-month research project funded by the NIHR Research Programme for Social Care. The project aims to understand and provide recommendations to develop policy and practices around distance dementia care in England i.e. when people living with dementia at home have family carers who live 1 or more hour away. A focus of the project is how homecare workers can better support those with distance care relationships. The Research Fellow will be employed full-time to support the delivery of this work. They will work closely with people living with dementia, family carers, home care professionals, patient and public advisory group members, and our study partner Dementia UK. They will be supported by and work with other research team members which includes colleagues at University of Greenwich as well as King’s College London, London School of Economics, University of Hull, and University of West London.
