Job Purpose

The NIHR CLAHRC-WM is a five-year initiative commencing in January 2014 with a mission to create lasting and effective collaborations across health and social care organisations, universities (Birmingham, Keele, Warwick) and local authorities to improve the services we can deliver for patient benefit.

The initiative is funded through a £10million investment from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) together with a further £20.6million matched funding provided by collaborative partners.

We will focus on four crucial areas of health:


• Theme 1 – Maternity and Child Health
• Theme 2 – Prevention and Early Intervention in Youth Mental Health
• Theme 3 – Prevention and Detection
• Theme 4 – Chronic Diseases (Integrated and Holistic Care)

This work will be supported by new scientific ways to measure the impact of changes and to make sure the best care is spread so that it can be delivered everywhere.

Cross-cutting topics include:

• Theme 5 - Implementation and Organisational Studies
• Theme 6 - Research Methods

This will only work if people who need to use our services are involved in all aspects of our work. We are fully committed to making sure this happens.

In five years, the outcome should be: better health, a better prospect of staying healthy, and a service in which every pound of the public’s contribution goes on services that use the best evidence of what works. The results we obtain will be shared around the world, so that people everywhere can learn from our achievements.

We are currently seeking a Research Fellow to create and contribute to the creation of knowledge by undertaking a specified range of activities working predominantly on a collaborative programme of work between the University of Birmingham and Birmingham City Council within the Prevention and Detection theme.
