This is a great opportunity in a new NIHR funded Health and Technology Assessment research trial, led by Professor Steven Jones, to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of a digital intervention for parents with bipolar and their children.

Experience of working collaboratively in clinical trial management with large multi-disciplinary research teams, and service users/relatives, clinicians and service providers, would be a definite advantage. We are looking for a self-directed and committed individual with an interest in becoming a key part of our research team.
