Anna Freud is a world-leading mental health charity for children, young people and their families. Our mission is to close the gap in wellbeing and mental health by advancing, translating, delivering, and sharing the best science and practice with everyone who impacts the lives of children, young people and their families. More information about Anna Freud is available on our website: http://www.annafreud.org/about/.
We value diversity and aim to have diverse workforce that reflects the community and our service users, in line with our vision, values and inclusion commitments. We encourage applications from all sections of the community.
The Start for Life Programme aims to support families during the “critical first 1001 days”- from pregnancy until the child is two years of age. More details are available here: The best start for life: A vision for the 1001 critical days. The Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme Guidance (DHSC/DfE 2022) recommends increasing workforce capacity and capability through the use of new workforce models that incorporate skill mix. Such changes may help services respond to changing patient needs and workforce availability. Five local authorities in England, who are existing Start for Life sites, were awarded DHSC funding to develop and pilot innovative skill mix models to complement their Family Hub offers and reach to families with children under five.
The Research Fellow will join the team conducting the evaluation of these innovative models of providing early years services. The team is led by Oxford University and is being conducted in collaboration with Anna Freud, University College London, and Ecorys.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a diverse and dynamic team of researchers, learn about applied methodologies for evaluating complex policy initiatives and receive training and consultancy from experts in Social Network Analysis. Furthermore, the post-holder will have opportunities to develop skills and experience in multiple research methodologies and dissemination.
The ideal candidate will need to be a self-starter and quite autonomous in the day-to-day management of the project. They will be part of several wider project teams, where the pace will be quite fast and very busy sometimes, but they will be part of an extremely caring and supportive team who value good communication, generosity, and everyone’s wellbeing.
