We're looking for a motivated and organised research professional who enjoys working collaboratively and turning data into meaningful insights. You'll be confident managing multiple priorities, have excellent communication skills and be passionate about improving health outcomes through high-quality research.

You'll thrive in this role if you have experience coordinating research projects, analysing and interpreting data, building strong relationships with stakeholders and working independently while contributing to a supportive, multidisciplinary team. An interest in perinatal, infant, child and adolescent mental health and service improvement will be highly regarded.

This role requires working collaboratively with clinicians, researchers,



external stakeholders and research participants who may be consumers and carers of the health service; all of these to support research that improves child and adolescent mental health services. Provide an example of a time you built effective working relationships to achieve a research or service improvement outcome. In your response, describe how you communicated with all relevant stakeholders, managed all aspects of project requirements, ensured accuracy and attention to detail, and used technology or data to support the successful delivery of the project.
