The CHESS Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial

Found in: Talent UK C2 - 1 week ago


Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Northumbria University Full time
ABOUT THE ROLE
This three year post will enable you to explore the (social) organisation of self-care for children with neurodisability, understand the (taken for granted) organisation of a large cluster randomized controlled trial, as well as help develop more inclusive recruitment and retention processes and procedures.

We want to work with a great qualitative researcher, who has excellent practical, analytic and conceptual skills. You will be working as part of a lovely, friendly and supportive multi-disciplinary trial team. You will be based in the  Implementation and Innovation Research Group  (IIR) at Northumbria University, working primarily with Tim Rapley.

Working as part of multi-disciplinary team, you will support the delivery of qualitative work on the NIHR HTA funded CHESS research project by undertaking research activity, writing up research work for publication and collaborating with project partners. The ethnographic qualitative work will involve interviews, focus groups, workshops, and observation with clinical, managerial and research staff and parents, carers and children over multiple sites across the UK. Some of the fieldwork will be conducted in person, so at times there will be travel to different parts of the UK, some will also be conducted remotely. 

The CHESS study is a clinical trial which seeks to assess how parents and professionals can support young children with neurodisabilities to develop independence in everyday self-care tasks. This is a multi-site randomised controlled trial which will include 40 NHS organisations and will involve 960 children and their families. The outcome evaluation will focus on assessing the effects of the self-care intervention on the child’s self-care independence, self-care involvement in child-caregiver interactions, child-health related quality of life mental health, and caregiver health and care-related quality of life. There will also be an economic evaluation to establish the cost-effectiveness of the work and a qualitative process evaluation. Initially, the qualitative process evaluation will support the development of recruitment and trial processes, with a particular focus on supporting inclusion and diversity. During the internal pilot phase, we will also seek to develop solutions for any emerging problems. Later in the process, we will seek to identify and develop optimal implementation strategies for embedding and normalising the self-care intervention beyond the end of the study.

This role is fixed-term for 36 months.
