**About the team**

The Raine Study is one of the largest, most successful longitudinal research studies of pregnancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood to be carried out anywhere in the world. The volunteer participants (approximately 3,000 pregnant women) were originally recruited to the study in 1989 and many of these, along with their partners and children, continue to engage with the study, participating in ongoing research through the follow-up assessments and data collection, continuing to demonstrate their commitment to this unique and valuable research study.

The Raine Study team has been collecting data at multiple time-points over the past 33 years by undertaking in-person and online assessments from this same group of participants (Generation 1) as well as their children, and now grandchildren (Generation 3). There are currently more than 250 researchers utilising the data across four overarching areas of research which includes Physical Health, Mental Health, Lifestyle and Genetics.

The Raine Study is about to begin the next follow-up with participants of Generation 1 and Generation 2, and as part of the team, you will be contacting the participants and assisting with scheduling their face-to-face appointments. You will also assist with conducting assessments, sending out and monitoring online questionnaires, update contact logs, accurately enter data, and assist with other data collection and administrative tasks.

- Year 12 or equivalent competency
