This post supports an NIHR-funded Public Health Research study evaluating Co-Manage, a digital workplace self-management intervention for people living with long-term conditions and disabilities. The project is a cluster randomised feasibility trial assessing the acceptability, implementation and evaluation of the intervention across diverse UK workplace settings.

The ideal candidate will hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in a relevant discipline, have experience of working with both quantitative and qualitative data, and have an interest in workplace health, long-term conditions and evaluating complex interventions.
