Born in Bradford (BiB) is an internationally acclaimed applied research programme which aims to improve health and wellbeing through the development and evaluation of interventions to promote health and the application of research into practice (https://www.born-in-bradford.local). BiB hosts three birth cohort studies: the Born in Bradford cohort, Born in Bradford’s Better Start (BiBBS), and BiB4All, all of which harness routine data from numerous organisations to evaluate children’s health and wellbeing. The oldest BiB children started Secondary school in 2018 and BiB is increasingly focused on engaging both Secondary schools and the children themselves in research. In tandem, BiB is working on a range of applied health projects which aim to develop, implement and evaluate ‘systems’ level interventions (for example, initiatives to improve air quality and green spaces, tackling unhealthy food environments) to improve the health and wellbeing of families.
We are looking to recruit a Systems Developer to play a key role across the BiB family of projects.
