Description

The key purpose of this role is to support a local evaluation of the changes to service delivery in relation to the Care Programme Approach for people with mental health problems.

This evaluation forms part of an ongoing series of evaluations undertaken by the University of Plymouth regarding the changes to mental health care brought about by the Community Mental Health Framework for Adults and Older Adults 2019.

Supported by a more senior researcher, you will embed yourself in a local mental health care system to undertake data collection and analysis, liaise with different stakeholders across local mental health service provision, and feedback initial and final findings to NHS staff teams.

As all service changes within Somerset are created with service user ('expert by experience') input, stakeholder liaison will include working with people with experience of mental health problems.

With guidance from a more senior researcher, you will actively promote opportunities for rapid learning amongst clinicians, service users, carers, community and voluntary sector partners and the wider NHS.

This is a part-time position working 22.2 hours per week on a fixed-term basis for 12 months due to funding.

Flexible working options will be considered.

This role will require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check plus a Adult's Barred List check.

Please demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria outlined in the knowledge, qualifications, training and experience elements of the job description in your supporting statement.

Interviews are likely to take place week commencing Monday 11th September 2023 and you will be notified if you have been shortlisted or not.

We offer a competitive salary package and a generous pension and holiday scheme. We also offer a range of other benefits, including ongoing development opportunities.
