Founded in 1894, City, University of London is a global university committed to academic excellence with a focus on business and the professions and an enviable central London location.

Staff on mental health wards frequently need to manage patient aggression but best practice is unclear. This study will identify the staff communication that characterises successful aggression management, reducing staff reliance on potentially harmful restrictive practices such as physical restraint, seclusion in a locked room and forced tranquilisation. To achieve this, we will employ ethnographic observations alongside detailed analysis of video recorded incidents of aggression management on four acute inpatient mental health wards in two collaborating Trust sites.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the role include: developing close working relationships with healthcare professionals at two collaborating hospital Trusts; coordinating data collection across four inpatient mental health wards; recruiting and consenting patients and staff; conducting ethnographic observations on wards; conducting semi-structured interviews with patients and staff; collecting video recorded incidents of de-escalation on participating wards; analysing and interpreting qualitative data; supporting the overall running and coordination of the study including preparing reports and contributing to the dissemination of findings.
Person Specification
The candidate will be an experienced qualitative researcher with a background in ethnography and/or communication research. Previous experience of conducting research, or working in mental health inpatient settings would be beneficial.
