Description
Job Overview
This is an exciting opportunity to be the Research Assistant with a psychological background on a new research project funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR): Enhancing the quality of interactions between parents with psychosis and their young children; a feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) of video feedback (ENHANCE).
The study is hosted by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, in collaboration with the University of Oxford and sites in London (City, St George’s) and Leicestershire Partnership Trust. This feasibility RCT involves adapting the intervention for the needs of this patient group and establishing the key parameters for a larger definitive trial to determine the effects the video feedback intervention on interactions between parents with psychosis and their young children and on patient and child outcomes.
The post holder’s primary responsibility will be to promote the study within the community teams (Early Intervention, perinatal, adult mental health) in the Trust, to recruit and consent participants, to conduct clinical assessments and structured interviews with participants before and after the intervention, and to extract information about other treatments and service use from the medical records. The post holder will work closely with the study’s site principal investigator and the research assistant in the Oxfordshire site.
Oxford Health NHS FT & Leicestershire Partnership Trust (LPT) together have a vibrant and active research community, and there will be opportunities to contribute to research papers, conference presentations, and team meetings. There will also be opportunities for other clinical experiences and career development activities.
