Together, these experiences are known as 'workplace trauma.' The Workplace Trauma project is an NIHR grant exploring the effect of a workplace trauma support intervention on staff working on acute mental health wards. It is a collaboration between Grearer Manchester Mental Health Trust and the University of Manchester. The project's Lead Investigator is Professor Katherine Berry.

The post holder will also be involved in qualitative data analysis and report writing. They may be required to assist with other activities, such as engagement and consultation with stakeholders and dissemination of research findings.
