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

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is now established as a part of the Government's strategy, 'Best Research for Best Health'. It is committed to establishing the NHS as an internationally recognised centre of research excellence through supporting outstanding individuals, working in world-class facilities, conducting leading-edge research focused on the needs of patients and the public. The NIHR Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) fund ambitious, collaborative, multidisciplinary programmes of applied research to solve health and social care challenges which have clear and identifiable patient benefits.

The PROSPECT study is funded by an NIHR (PGfAR) to enhance access to Cognitive Behavioural Suicide Prevention (CBSP) therapy for suicidal men detained in prison, and to evaluate its clinical and cost effectiveness. The lead investigator of the PROSPECT study is Dr Dan Pratt.

The main purpose of this post is to recruit participants into the PROSPECT trial and conduct pre-treatment and post-treatment assessments of participants for the evaluation of CBSP therapy for suicidal men detained in prison. It is anticipated that follow-up assessments will take place in prison, but there may be occasions when follow-up assessments will be completed in appropriate locations in the community.

The post holder will receive personal training in managing suicide risk, conducting quantitative psychological assessments and qualitative methods and analysis, as appropriate. They will benefit from regular supervision from a Clinical Psychologist. The researcher will be expected to regularly produce summary progress reports for the research team and service user groups, and present preliminary findings to relevant meetings.

The study will run in four prisons (two in the northwest of England and two in Yorkshire). This job advert specifically relates to the post based in the prisons in the northwest of England.

The post holder will need to be able to travel to the different prison sites and to the University of Manchester to attend meetings, training, and supervision.

Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) Foundation Trust employs over 6,400 members of staff, who deliver services from more than 160 locations.

We provide inpatient and community-based mental health care for people living in Bolton, the city of Manchester, Salford, Trafford and the borough of Wigan, and a wide range of specialist mental health and substance misuse services across Greater Manchester, the north west of England and beyond.
