Are you an experienced researcher, who is self motivated and enjoys working collaboratively? Are you passionate about working with practitioners and communities to co-design evidence to inform better policy and practice for users of social care?

We have an exciting opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team on a new research project looking at food support in adult social care. You'll be at the heart of developing a major research programme proposal, working to co-design this with practitioner partners and a public involvement group. The role will involve leading a comprehensive scoping review of existing UK research, working with the project team to establish and work with practitioner partners and a public involvement group (which will be convened in person in South Yorkshire).
