Job description

Sport England have made investments into multiple places across England to tackle physical activity inequalities by taking a ‘whole-systems’ and ‘place-based’ approach (WSA / PBA). Simply put, this approach addresses barriers and opportunities to physical activity at a range of difference levels – from individual to infrastructural and rooted in the distinctive mix of local characteristics. Sport England’s ten-year strategy ‘Uniting the Movement’ commits to deepening the approach in places with established WSAs and PBAs and expanding the place-based approach with further investment into new places. There is a need to identify the impact made by the WSAs and PBAs and illustrate which conditions lead to which impacts, in which circumstances. This will be supported by a Qualitative Comparative Analysis approach.
Sheffield Hallam University have an exciting and growing area in the evaluation of WSAs and PBAs to tackle societal issues such as physical inactivity and health inequalities. We are pleased to advertise two opportunities to join our research team and conduct the Qualitative Comparative Analysis [QCA] on the Impact of Local Delivery Pilots and other place-based approaches.
We are recruiting for a part-time research assistant (or researcher with equivalent experience), Grade 5, who will work with the wider team to liaise with cases, collect and analyse data and contribute to evaluation reports and publications.
The successful candidate will work on this high-profile project with an established team, led by Dr Katie Shearn, co-located at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre. The candidates will join an established and renowned team of evaluators including, Drs Rob Vincent, Rick Davies and Kev Harris.
To be successful you must be comfortable working with various data sources, qualitative interviewing experience and have employed systematic approaches to data analysis and reporting. You must also have excellent planning and organisation skills. A Master’s in psychology, public health, sport science, management or related discipline or relevant equivalent experience will be essential to this role.
Sheffield Hallam welcomes applications from all candidates irrespective of age, pregnancy and maternity, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief, or marital or civil partnership status.


The University may be able to sponsor the employment of international applicants in this role; this will depend on a number of factors specific to the individual applicant.
