The project also aims to examine strategies that enable family carers to combine caregiving responsibilities with work. The successful candidate will provide assistance to the Principal Investigator/nominee and team members on all research activities associated with the project.
The successful candidate will provide assistance with literature reviews, and fieldwork, which will include focus groups, interviews, and web-based surveys with employers/managers and working family carers.
The RA will also assist with data collation and analysis, dissemination and outreach activities, and with the design, development and evaluation of the CAREWELL programme
