The role will involve working across two projects: the NIHR ADEPT study which aims to develop a digital intervention to support the care of people with co-occuring heavy drinking and depression, and the North East and North Cumbria Applied Research Collaboration Sunderland PLUS Study – to develop interventions to support the unmet health needs of people in Sunderland who are struggling with alcohol and/or other drugs.
