We are looking for a committed individual to join us in Ayrshire on an exciting research study on homelessness and inclusion health run by Dr Richard Lowrie, University Reader from University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Homelessness and Inclusion Health. Your role will be pivotal to the research and will include formulating a strategy with others for participant recruitment and follow-up. As part of the recruitment phase and follow-up, you will perform a number of near patient health tests (blood pressure, pulse, BMI).
