The post holders will play a key role in shaping the study's design, recruiting participants, collecting data, supporting the analysis of findings, and sharing results with decision-makers and community members. They will receive training and dedicated support from the principal investigator and senior research fellow.
The post will be based within the world-leading Yorkshire Quality and Safety Research Group (YQSR) at the Bradford Institute for Health Research (BIHR).
The postholders will work on the study on a flexible, as-needed basis. On average, they will work around 4 hours a week – however this will vary from week to week. Some weeks may require no work and some may require a full day’s work. The post will be for one year, with the potential for extension depending on the study findings.
The duties include providing feedback on the study proposal and methods, approaching, recruiting and consenting participants, collecting data through workshops, observations and interviews, supporting and feeding back on the analysis of findings, sharing findings and working with partners. Bespoke training will be provided for the community researchers.
We are particularly keen to hear from members of Black Caribbean and Black African communities in Bradford with lived experience of end-of-life care. This can be as a carer, family member or friend.
In order to ensure high quality data are collected for the project the post holders will work alongside the study team.
Our People Charter outlines the behaviours we can expect from one another and what you can expect from Bradford Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust:
We value people
We are one team
We care
We’re keen to meet people who share these values and are passionate about delivering the highest quality of care to our patients.
This post presents an exciting opportunity for community members from Bradford with experience of palliative and end-of-life care within the Black Caribbean and/or Black African communities to join our supportive study team. Their role will be to help us understand how to systematically address racism in palliative and end-of-life care. They will join community researchers who have already been recruited from the Pakistani and Roma communities.
We are looking for organised, motivated and enthusiastic community researchers.
The successful candidates will work with the Principal Investigator and Senior Research Fellow to help design the study, collect data, support the analysis and help share the findings to ensure the findings have impact.
