Data Support Administrator

The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Abundance project as a Data Support Administrator. The Abundance Project: Enhancing Cultural and Green Inclusion in Social Prescribing in Southwest London to Address Ethnic Inequalities in Mental Health is an AHRC funded project led by University of the Arts London and co-led by Kingston University.

Black, ethnic minority and refugee communities who live in poorer Southwest London boroughs and other cities across the UK are at the greatest risk of poor mental health, yet are least likely to engage with cultural and green community assets or social prescribing. The Abundance project is a 3-year research project that aims to develop ways for these communities to engage with assets such as galleries, museums, natural spaces and community groups and benefit from them. The project aims to empower Black, minority ethnic and refugee communities by taking a community-led approach to engaging assets within health systems and creating opportunities to reduce mental health inequalities.

In your role as Data Support Administrator you will have oversight of the data management process for all aspects of the project. You will develop and implement data management processes, and act as main point of contact for the project team, ensuring that data integrity and data quality are of the highest standard across the project and in line with university and funder regulations and requirements. You will support with the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, and with the visualisation and documentation of data to enhance the dissemination of the research and effectively communicate the value and impacts of the Abundance Project.

About you

You will be an integral part of an enthusiastic and dynamic team of academic and community researchers, who are highly motivated about successfully delivering an impactful project that aims to benefit underserved communities in Southwest London and more widely.

You will be motivated and enthusiastic about principles of equality, diversity and inclusion, and driven by social purpose agendas. You will be committed to maintaining high standards in project delivery and to treating all stakeholders with empathy and respect.

With experience working in a research environment to support data collection and management, you will be crucial to the successful delivery of the project, resulting in a community-led model for social prescribing of cultural and green assets that can address health inequalities, particularly in the area of mental health of underserved communities.
