Part Time Research Assistant:

Job description

The project 'Recognising the Risks and Harms for Repeat Missing Children from Different Residential Environments through a Child and Practitioner Lens' will seek to co-create interventions to reduce repeat missing episodes.

This will include considering risks and harms, the impact of different residential environments (e.g., foster care, with parents/guardians), sociodemographic factors (e.g., race, age, gender), and personal needs (e.g., mental health, disabilities, learning differences).

As a multi-phased project this will incorporate practitioner experiences and children's reflections on being "missing" to the interventions and the project will engage focus groups with practitioners and adopt a Participatory Action Research and Reflection (PARR) approach, analysed through conversation and thematic analysis.

Undertaking this work will involve working with partners across North and South Yorkshire, culminating in co-created materials with children and practitioners to provide a framework of support, inform practice, and reduce repeat missing episodes.

The postholder will be involved in organising and facilitating interviews and focus groups with external practitioners; transcription and analysis (qualitative and quantitative) of this data; and support the undertaking of a scoping literature review.

Familiarity with quantitative and qualitative research methods is the key skill required.
