Please refer to the attached job description and person specification for full details of responsibilities

The successful applicants will play an active part in this research program. They will contribute to the recruitment process, interviews and assessment procedures at baseline and follow-ups.
The diverse nature of these posts requires that the research assistants must be aware of their responsibilities for maintaining a safe and healthy environment for participants, visitors and staff.
The research assistants will comply with current Health and Safety legislation and adhere to the NIH, NHS and University of Cambridge training, policies and procedures.
The research assistants will work both independently and closely with other members of the research team and healthcare professionals working in CAMEO.
They will ensure that recruitment and data ascertainment from participants is carried out to a high standard using proficient communication skills. Work will be primarily based in Cambridge; however, these posts will require flexible travel to other areas outside Cambridge, within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, for possible participants recruitment and assessments.
Some MRI scanning slots and other assessment procedures may be out-of-hours, and adjusting to participants timetables may is also be necessary.
The ideal candidates would demonstrate excellent communication and relationship building skills, experience in running studies with human participants, and the ability to communicate comfortably with vulnerable young people from a variety of backgrounds at high risk for psychosis.

Here at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) we are dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion. We deliver many of the NHS services that are provided outside of hospital and in the community such as physical, mental health and specialist services.

We are a health and social care organisation, offering a wide range of services, including:

Integrated physical and mental health services for adults and older people;
Specialist mental health and learning disability services;
Children and young people’s mental health services;
Children’s community services in Peterborough;
Social care;
Ground-breaking research

We strongly encourage applications from all sections of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people and members of our ethnic minorities and LGBTQ+ communities. For further information about our positive equality, diversity and Inclusion work, please visit https://www.cpft.nhs.uk/equalityanddiversity.

CPFT is looking to build upon its pool of temporary workers with Temporary Staffing Services (TSS). You will be asked at interview if you would be willing to register with TSS. This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to take on additional hours that are flexible around your personal circumstances.

Please be advised that in line with the WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List, 2020 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust currently are unable to accept applications from overseas candidates whose country of residence is classed as a ‘Red List’ country.

Applicants who require entry into the UK will be required to provide a valid police certificate from the relevant authority from each country (except the UK) where the applicant has been present for 12 months or more, 10 years before the date of visa application, while aged 18 or over.

If you are successful at interview you will be subject to pre-employment checks, including a DBS (if appropriate), references and Occupational Health. To ensure a smooth process please bring all identity documents to your interview. A list of required identity documents will be attached to your interview invitation.

All communications will be sent to you via TRAC Systems. By applying for this post you are agreeing to CPFT transferring the information contained in this application to TRAC. If you are made an offer, information will also be transferred into the national NHS Electronic Staff Records system.
