Manchester, United Kingdom Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This post will be split between two NIHR-funded, multi-site clinical trials: The Feeling Safer trial (0.5wte as part of the Psychosis Research Unit) and the Bipolar At-Risk Trial (0.5wte as part of the Youth Mental Health Research Unit).

The post-holder will have a central role in the trial, being responsible for the day-to-day delivery of the Feeling Safer trial within the local NHS trust. This will include delivering psychological therapy, supervising research assistants in the recruitment and assessment of trial participants, and supervising other intervention delivery staff in the delivery of the intervention. They will receive supervision from Prof Daniel Freeman (Chief Investigator) and Dr Felicity Waite from the lead site in Oxford, in addition to local supervision from Professor Tony Morrison.

This post will include the support of the BART II trial, namely Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for young people meeting bipolar at-risk criteria (CBT BAR ) throughout the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation (GMMH) footprint. The postholder will receive specialist manualised therapy training and frequent supervision from Professor Sophie Parker to conduct CBT BAR with this group. Other responsibilities will include contributing to the planning, coordinating and completing different research projects undertaken at the Youth Mental Health Research Unit. This will include the provision of clinical supervision to others e.g. Research Assistants.

To provide highly specialist, cognitive-behavioural assessment, formulation, therapy and supervision in the context of the clinical trials. Training in the interventions will be provided.

Responsibility for the organisation, day-to-day management, and running of one site of a large randomised controlled trial (Feeling Safer) with patients with psychosis and persecutory delusions. It will be particularly important to meet recruitment targets, ensure a high retention rate in the trial, and a high uptake of the Feeling Safer treatment.

To supervise other staff in the delivery of the treatment, ensuring high rates of engagement and fidelity to the protocol.

To supervise the research assistants working on the trial, ensuring recruitment targets are achieved, assessments are completed, and blinding of research assessors is maintained.

The Psychosis Research Unit promotes a normalising approach to understanding psychosis. We believe experiences and beliefs commonly regarded as symptoms of psychosis are often highly understandable reactions to adverse life events. Our primary aim is to develop ways of reducing the distress of people with these experiences, as well as developing ways of restoring their autonomy and dignity. We have a strong emphasis on the involvement of service users and people with lived experience of psychosis in our research.

The Youth Mental Health Research Unit (YMHRU) at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust is focused on early intervention, prevention of long-term mental health problems, reducing stigma and discrimination, and improving psychosocial interventions. Through a focus on early intervention, reducing stigma and discrimination, and innovative research, we hope to make a lasting impact on mental health outcomes for young people.
