Description

Applications are invited for a Research Support Officer post to join the SATURN (Stimulant medication for ADHD and Tics - Understanding Response versus Non-stimulants) trial, which is hosted by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust - and led by Professor Chris Hollis at the University of Nottingham.

This project is a randomised trial that aims to understand whether stimulant or nonstimulant medication is most effective for treating children and young people who are experiencing both ADHD and tics.

SATURN will be set within child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and paediatric settings. Participants will be children/young people who have both ADHD and tics, and their parents/carers.

The post-holder will be based in Nottingham and will work alongside local clinical teams and members of the University of Nottingham including the Nottingham Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU) and Institute of Mental Health (IMH) to recruit participants and assess outcomes for the SATURN trial.

The post-holder will split their time between the IMH and the NCTU (with some flexibility around working from home) but final arrangements will be confirmed closer to the time once in post.

This is a fixed-term contract until 31 December 2024.

The post is 0.6 WTE / 22.5 hours per week.

The post may require flexible working hours (specifically, some availability in the evenings or weekends will be needed to cover participant phone calls).
