Recovery Colleges provide adult education to mental health service users, carers and staff, to support personal recovery (living as well as possible) and the recovery orientation of staff and affiliated services (supporting illness self-management and community participation). They are run jointly by mental health professionals and people with personal experience of mental illness.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"> </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">RECOLLECT 2 is a mixed-methods study informed by a theory-based approach to evaluation. We seek to identify the expected relationships between multiple service components and potential outcomes, while considering contextual factors potentially influencing the relationship between Recovery Colleges and outcomes.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"> </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The post-holder will bring and further develop substantial experience in a range of research methodologies, including qualitative data collection, longitudinal observational quantitative research, standardised measures, and outcome / process / economic evaluation.
