Summary
This is an exciting and challenging role for an experienced researcher to support the delivery of
a new multi-centre clinical trial funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). We
wish to appoint a podiatrist, orthotist or physiotherapist or other related specialism with
experience in musculoskeletal or foot and ankle research. You will join the Big Toe Inserts trial
team in delivering a UK wide randomised controlled trial evaluating carbon fibre shoe stiffening
inserts, compared to sham inserts, for people with osteoarthritis of the big toe joint – the first
metatarsophalangeal joint.
You will be responsible for assisting the Chief Investigators and the Big Toe trial team in
delivering the trial. Supported by the trial team, core responsibilities will include 1) preparing trial
intervention materials (practitioner and participant manuals); 2) engaging with trial sites, deliver
Big Toe Insert Trial practitioner training, and facilitating trial implementation at each recruitment
site; and 3) providing ongoing support to Big Toe Insert practitioners at each site to aid timely
participant recruitment, trial delivery, follow-up, and successful trial completion. We seek
someone with research experience to undertake qualitative interviews with participants and
practitioners. A willingness and ability to travel to clinical and research sites is required.
