Research Associate/Fellow (Fixed term, Part time) Nottingham, England
Job description
School of Medicine - Lifespan and Population Health
The Stay One Step Ahead home safety project evaluated the implementation of systematic evidence-based home safety promotion as part of the Big Lottery funded Small Steps Big Changes (SSBC) programme in Nottingham. The SSBC programme aims to transform the lives and life chances of Nottingham’s 0-3 year olds. It is being delivered in four electoral wards in Nottingham (Arboretum, Aspley, Bulwell and St Anns). These wards have high levels of need amongst children in terms of a range of health, education and social indicators, high child populations and cultural and ethnic diversity. The Stay One Step Ahead home safety project used mixed methods, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches to evaluate how well home safety promotion was implemented from the perspective of parents, service providers and the health services.
The purpose of this role will be to support the completion of qualitative research for the Stay One Step Ahead study and to help develop and disseminate an implementation toolkit for its future delivery. Individuals with experience of injury prevention research and/or implementation toolkit development are particularly welcome to apply.
The person appointed will have the opportunity to use their initiative and creativity to identify areas for research, develop research methods and extend their research portfolio.
This post is available on a fixed term basis for 6 months. Hours of work are part time (14.5 hours).
