Oxford, United Kingdom Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We're looking for an Assistant Psychologist to join a team of leading experts in psychosis research, testing a novel psychological treatment for distressing voices.

Could this be you?

The Talking with Voices II trial is investigating whether a new form of dialogical therapy promotes recovery and reduces distress for patients who hear voices. This post offers the opportunity to work as part of a national team delivering and testing the therapy as part of a multi-site randomised controlled trial. The post holder will receive training and frequent supervision to support the delivery of key trial tasks: recruiting patients, completing informed consent and supporting patients to complete trial assessments. Data from this study will inform NHS service development.

The team is led by Dr Eleanor Longden and Prof Tony Morrison (Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust). Dr Bryony Sheaves and Prof Daniel Freeman (Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford) are leading the Oxford trial site. The post-holder would join the Oxford Cognitive Approaches to Psychosis (O-CAP) research team, led by Professor Freeman.

As an assistant psychologist you will be responsible for recruiting participants for the Oxford trial site. You will support patients to complete informed consent and multiple trial assessments. All participants will be experiencing distressing voices.

You will attend individual supervision with a clinical psychologist based in Oxford and be expected to meet key milestones for the trial, including recruitment targets. You will advertise the trial to NHS mental health teams, supported by the trial clinical psychologist. You will be expected to contribute to the Trust’s social inclusion agenda by enabling staff, service users and carers from diverse background to flourish by creating a psychologically safe environment in the Talking with Voices trial.

You must hold a degree in psychology (2.1 or above, or equivalent conversion) and have knowledge of the psychological understanding of voice hearing, excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to engage patients attending secondary mental health care services.

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust provides physical, mental health and social care for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset.

Our services are delivered at community bases, hospitals, clinics and people’s homes, delivering care as close to home as possible

Our vision is that no matter who you are or where you are, you will tell us that you receive: “Outstanding care delivered by an outstanding team”

**Our values are**: “Caring, safe and excellent”

A knowledge of the psychological understanding of voice hearing.
An insight into and empathy for the difficulties faced by people who hear voices and those who experience trauma.
An ability to quickly learn new psychological assessments.
