The project involves developing and then conducting a pilot test of the program. (Expert dance content knowledge is provided by our external collaborators). You will organise and lead all aspects of the formative work (i.e. interviews and focus groups) that will be conducted to design the intervention and the pilot test of the intervention. Educated to Masters level (or equivalent), and with experience of research within the school setting, you will be highly effective in collecting and handling data, and will have excellent communication skills.
