Our partnering, charity UK SMART Recovery, provides free, science-based, weekly mutual-aid support for 5000 people recovering from addictive behaviours. This Accelerated Knowledge Transfer Partnership will carry out a process evaluation of an intensive recovery event which innovatively combines SMART principles with equine therapy, over the course of two weekends.
Your main duties and responsibilities will include:
- Liaise with our knowledge exchange partners and recruit participants.
- Conduct in-depth interviews in person across the UK or online.
- Ensure the accuracy of digital transcripts and conduct thematic analyses of these.
- Lead on disseminating findings in formats that are (i) useful for UK SMART Recovery and (ii) contribute new knowledge to the field.
Additionally, it will explore systematically with a variety of stakeholders the feasibility of integrating SMART principles into intensive recovery events, providing a codified framework and toolkit to the charity, in support of future similar endeavors. In so doing, it will create a repeatable operational model to broaden the support UKSR offers and to partner with other organisations in therapeutic delivery.
As this is an accelerated funding scheme, you must be able to start immediately.
