Contracts and Project Manager - Keynsham

Oxford Health are leading an exciting and pioneering research project. Do you want to be part of this? We will be the lead service provider for a National Multisite Randomised Control Trial (RCT) investigating the effect of Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) for children and adolescents where there is concern about violence and aggression and they are referred to Community Forensic CAMHS. This is an amazing opportunity to be involved in this important trial, collaborating with colleagues across England and with University College London and the University of Hertfordshire. This is a cohort of children that have traditionally not been offered talking therapy and this trial will be a national first large-scale investigation to see if talking therapy can help these children reduce the risk of violence and aggression. As our Contracts and Project Manager, you'll be overseeing the full life cycle of this project including development, implementation, stakeholder engagement, progress monitoring, collating feedback and reporting. If this sounds like your area of expertise and you want to be part of this critical research journey, we'd love to hear from you! This is a 23 month fixed term contract and will be offered as a secondment opportunity to individuals from other NHS trusts.
