Research Administrator

Part Time (24 hours per week), Fixed Term (9 Months)

This post has a Genuine Occupational Requirement that the successful applicant be a person who is blind or partially sighted, in line with The Equality Act 2010.

Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT) and RNIB are collaborating with organisations from both the sight loss and wider charity sector as well as corporate organisations to create new opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to find employment through the Get Set Progress (GSP) Internship programme. 

This Internship will provide administrative support with running a research study investigating the effectiveness of simple therapies designed to reduce the impact of visual hallucinations experienced by people with sight-loss (Charles Bonnet Syndrome). The Internship will also include assisting with outreach and public dissemination activities for projects focusing on the inclusion of disabled and visually impaired people into society. 

The duties will require excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to take initiative and work flexibly and reasonably independently. The study will be performed remotely using on-line materials, but a key part of this role will be liaising with volunteers at all stages from initial contact, to the end of the intervention. The hours to be worked can be flexible and it is envisaged that these will vary on a week-by-week basis.
