We are seeking a Research Fellow to have specific responsibility to lead research into developing a minimum dataset for UK care homes as part of the NIHR Developing Resources and Minimum Dataset for Care Homes Adoption (DACHA) study.

The researcher will lead work package 5 of DACHA, along with colleagues at the University of Kent. This will involve piloting a prototype dataset using an electronic interface in a network of care homes across the East Midlands. A second tranche of care homes will be recruited in the South East of England and Kent-based researchers will co-ordinate research there.

The successful applicant will work to cultivate relationships with existing research enabled care homes across the East Midlands in order to deliver the project, and will:

  Support the implementation of the minimum dataset in the care home.

  Retrieve, work with and interpret quantitative data emerging from the dataset, with support from statisticians and data scientists.

  Conduct and analyse interviews conducted in participating care homes and with other stakeholders across the East Midlands.

You will join a team, led by Prof Adam Gordon, whose main areas of research revolve around healthcare delivery in care homes. Prof Gordon's group holds major research grants and plays leading roles in delivering research in the sector. This includes randomized controlled trials of novel interventions in care homes, evaluations of in vitro diagnostics in care homes, developing a minimum dataset to describe care delivery, research to outline optimal models of healthcare delivery, and qualitative research describing many aspects of care delivery in care homes. Prof Gordon leads the Building Community Resilience and Enabling Independence (BCREI) theme of the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration-East Midlands (ARC-EM) and we would expect the applicant to be able to access the full range of support and networking opportunities available through the ARC. The wider DACHA team includes leading researchers in the field at other Universities across the UK.

This role is available on a fixed term contract until 31/10/2023. Hours of work are full-time (36.25 hours); however applications are also welcome from candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum 29 hours per week). Please specify in your application if you wish to work part time and the number of preferred hours. Job share arrangements may be considered.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Adam Gordon (adam.gordon@nottingham.ac.uk ). Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
