Research Associate (Qualitative) – Evaluation of Community-Based NHS Talking Therapies

Contract: Fixed-term, 0.8 FTE
Faculty: School of Nursing and Public Health, Faculty of Health and Education

Location: Brooks Building, Birley Campus, Manchester

The Role

Manchester Metropolitan University is seeking to appoint an experienced Qualitative Research Associate (0.8 FTE) to contribute to an independent evaluation of Six Degrees, a social enterprise commissioned to deliver NHS Talking Therapies for Salford.

The postholder will provide essential qualitative expertise within a mixed-methods evaluation designed to assess the added value of Six Degrees' relational, community-embedded model of mental healthcare. The work will generate policy-relevant evidence to support service continuation and expansion and form the foundations for peer‑reviewed outputs and competitive grant applications.

The postholder will work closely with the Principal Investigator and second researcher focusing on the quantitative analysis. The qualitative strand will focus on mechanisms, lived experience and practitioner insight to give the evaluation explanatory depth and potential for national policy impact and high‑quality academic publication.

About the Project

Six Degrees operates an innovative model of NHS Talking Therapies that differs significantly from standard, recovery-metric-driven approaches. The service emphasises:

Practitioners embedded in GP practices and community venues
Outreach to underserved populations, including communities experiencing racialised and socially embedded distress (e.g. Polish and Jewish communities)
Early intervention for people below conventional clinical thresholds

The evaluation will combine routine service data analysis with in-depth qualitative interview work with service users and practitioners. A key analytical opportunity lies in comparing Six Degrees outcomes with national NHS Talking Therapies data, elevating the study to one with national relevance for mental health policy and service design.

The project is also designed as the pilot evidence base for parallel grant applications (e.g. NIHR ARC and HSDR), making this role particularly attractive to candidates interested in research development and impact-focused work.

Key Responsibilities

Design and deliver a programme of qualitative interviews with service users and practitioners
Conduct rigorous qualitative data analysis (e.g. thematic, realist-informed, or mechanism-focused approaches)
Integrate qualitative findings with quantitative results within a mixed-methods framework
Contribute to academic outputs, including peer‑reviewed publications in high-quality journals
Support the development of follow-on grant applications
Engage constructively with academic and non-academic partners, including community-based services

About You

You will have:

Essential

A postgraduate qualification (or equivalent research experience) in a relevant discipline (e.g. social science, psychology, public health, health services research)
Demonstrable experience of conducting in-depth qualitative research
Strong qualitative analytical skills and experience producing high-quality written outputs
An interest in community mental health, health inequalities, or service evaluation
The ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a collaborative research team

Desirable

Familiarity with NHS Talking Therapies, IAPT, or community mental health services
Experience of mixed-methods research
Familiarity with NHS or community-based mental health services
Experience of mechanism-based, realist, or theory-informed qualitative approaches
Experience contributing to academic publications or funding applications
