R sig jobs - Sep 2012 - Statistician Vacancy - CAMHS EBPU, UCL and Anna Freud Centre

The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Evidence Based Practice
Unit (EBPU) is a dynamic, expanding and friendly academic and service
development unit, currently consisting of 19 people including: researchers,
clinicians and service development specialists
(http://www.ucl.ac.uk/clinical-psychology/EBPU/). It is part of University
College London (UCL) and the Anna Freud Centre (AFC), with main offices based at
AFC in leafy North West London. The unit undertakes research helping develop
effective service provision for children and young people with emotional and
behavioural difficulties. This involves leading major national data collection
processes as part of practitioner learning collaborations and research projects.
In particular the unit leads a number of projects related to the outcomes
evaluation of CAMHS in order to improve services. Within the unit sits the
central team for the CAMHS Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC) - a national
collaboration between child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) across
the UK who contribute outcome data for central analysis and reporting. The CORC
central database currently has data on over 150,000 episodes of care. Full
information on CORC can be found at: www.corc.uk.net.

CAMHS EBPU is looking for a statistician to lead on managing data and developing
statistical analyses for a range of projects, but most particularly for CORC.
The post would suit an enthusiastic, creative, organised and self-motivated
individual who is interested in statistical modelling, is highly competent in
working with large datasets (including programming in whatever language is
preferred), and who cares about improving the quality of mental health
provision.
