Fieldworkers (Full and Part-time) Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (Ref. 14554) Are you dynamic, sociable and motivated, with a good sense of humour and the ability to relate to young people? This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced research study involving 10,000 teenagers aged 16-18. We are looking for enthusiastic Fieldworkers to collect data from ALSPAC study participants. You will be a registered general nurse, be educated to degree level or have equivalent experience. You will have at least two years' experience in collecting data in a research study and have a sound understanding of research methodologies and the importance of research governance. You will also have excellent planning and organisational skills, be able to work under pressure and posses well-developed interpersonal skills with the ability to quickly build rapport with participants. Training will be provided prior to the commencement of the clinic which runs from 8am to 8pm, six days per week. We are, therefore, able to offer flexibility in terms of working hours. Non-EU Nationals please note The University has a legal responsibility to ensure that all employees are entitled to live and work in the UK. For academic and research vacancies or those that require highly specialist skills and qualifications we may be able to provide a certificate of sponsorship for a suitably qualified applicant to help in obtaining permission to work in the UK from the UK Border Agency. However, for vacancies that are not academic, research or highly specialist it is extremely unlikely that permission to work in the UK would be granted. In such cases we will therefore be unable to consider an application from someone who does not currently have permission to work in the UK. If you have any queries regarding your entitlement to apply for one of our vacancies please e-mail recruitment@bristol.ac.uk.
