Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner

Hove, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS FoundationTrust Full time

The post is open to qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs) as part of an MRC DPFS grant awarded to Prof Hugo Critchley: “HeartRater: Clinical - Optimizing ADIE therapy for the treatment of anxiety in underserved populations.”

The project seeks to develop and test a novel treatment for anxiety based on interoceptive training and includes the conduct of a feasibility clinical trial in patients. Responsibilities include research assessments, online therapy delivery, and clinical assessments of trial participants.

Work will mainly be conducted independently from home, with occasional travel to trial sites if required.

The postholder will join thriving and friendly NHS- and University-based research teams and will have the opportunity to develop research skills as part of their post. As a team, we have a strong track record of research workers progressing to PhD and clinical psychology and other related training programmes.

The post holder will work together with NHS sites and the research team to deliver a novel, body-based therapy to adults with anxiety disorders. The therapy uses specialized equipment and software, and the post holder will require excellent IT-skills to support participants through online video chat in delivering therapy.

The PWP will also be the point of contact between stakeholders in the clinical trial (research team, NHS sites, NHS trusts) and require excellent communication and organizational skills.

We are a multidisciplinary research team at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Brighton and Sussex Medical School. We work together with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, where this post will be located. Our bench-to-bedside research focuses on brain-body interactions in mental health conditions. The PWP will support the delivery of this project, working with the Project Manager Dr Lisa Quadt and Research Assistant Amy Kartar to deliver specific clinical trial activities.

**Accessibility**:
Most work can be done from home using online video calls. Some travel for site set-ups and participant assessments may be required.

**The post-holder's responsibilities will include**:

- To facilitate communication between IAPT/TT services and research team
- To follow clinical trial procedures adhering to the trial protocol
- To support recruitment, screening, and consenting of prospective trial participants
- To support participants if technological problems arise
- To deliver online therapy
- To conduct clinical needs assessment after therapy course has ended
- To collect research and clinical data according to trial protocol
- To travel to recruitment sites if in-person assessment or technological support is required
- Flexible working and working from home are possible
- The post holder will work with people with a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder from different cultural backgrounds, of different ages, and potentially with co-occurring disabilities and should be committed to equal opportunities
