Part Time, 0.4 FTE (15 hours per week)
Fixed Term contract up to July 2027

Background
Family members often play a critical role in supporting people with serious mental illness by sustaining hope and offering a sense of belonging and connection. Those outside the family do not always understand the complexities of sustaining family relationships at these times, nor the sometimes unintended harms that families can experience. ‘Carer harm’ takes places when a family carer experiences physical, psychological or sexual violence or abuse by the person for whom they care and the reasons for these harms are often multi-faceted and unintentional. Yet, affected family members face ethical and practical challenges recognising and making sense of the harm they experience, which can in turn affect their ability to seek informal and formal support. This post is for a research associate to work on a new study Carer harm in the context of families affected by serious mental illness funded by the School for Social Care Research. The study works closely with carer co-researchers and seeks to explore the nature of carer harm in the context of mental illness. It aims to inform future research, improving understanding and outcomes for families and to improve social work/care practice.
This post would be well suited to someone who has experience of applied social and/or health research (including specialist interests around social work, social care and mental health research). Applications are welcomed from people who have experience of supporting or caring for family members, people with mental health needs, and people who have practice experience. The research associate will be offered project-related supervision and support as well as mentorship relating to their ongoing skills and training needs.
This a part-time post for a fixed period. The research associate will work for 15 hours a week for a nine-month period. There will be flexibility to work remotely or at the University of Birmingham campus for most of the project period, however it is a requirement that the research associate carries out some project-based work in Birmingham.
