Under the leadership of Professor Thomas Phillips, Professor of Nursing in Addiction and Professor Judith Cohen, Hull Health Trials Unit, the research team has secured a five-year award, supported by our partners at the University of York and King’s College London, to develop addiction and mental health research based at the University of Hull. The research targets national priorities and the mental health needs of our population with the aim of improving access to care and treatment that works. Working closely with health and social care providers as well as patients and the public, we have developed an ambitious programme of research across three themes:
Theme 1:Young people with substance use and mental health presentations.
Theme 2: Adults with substance use and mental health presentations.
Theme 3: Defining the needs of adults with alcohol-related cognitive impairment (ARCI).

The post holder will work closely with the co-investigators, theme leads and researchers to support the overall programme objectives.
The Engagement Co-ordinator has a crucial role to play in the delivery of the PPI & Engagement Action Plan and overall programme of research. Engaging with leaders, professionals and commissioners from local health service, social care, youth services, criminal justice and wider community and voluntary services who support our key target groups will maximise delivery and impact of our research. The post holder will ensure that effective, timely and co-ordinated engagement of these stakeholders to ensure targets set in the PPIE Action Plan are met. The post holder will report directly to both Professor Thomas Phillips and Professor Judith Cohen and will work directly with stakeholders facilitating stakeholder groups, co-ordinating the project strategic advisory group, organising conferences and dissemination events over the period of the award.
The ideal candidate will possess excellent organisation, communication and project management skills, and have knowledge of how to implement applied health research so that they can effectively engage a range of partners locally, regionally and nationally. The post holder will have a key role in developing the research team website, organising a range of events such as online seminars.
