Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are recruiting a part time (0.8 wte) Assistant Psychologist post (AP) to help evaluate the benefit of a new talking therapy. It is part of a Wellcome funded multi-centre RCT of a new treatment for dealing with sleep problems. The post-holder will be key to the successful delivery of this trial and will lead on recruitment, assessment, and follow up of the participants.

Sleeping better is a novel therapy for sleep issues. It will be delivered over a period of 12 weeks. Approximately 8 weekly individual, face to face sessions will be offered.

This will give the post holder an unrivalled opportunity to learn about a new therapeutic approach, to work with world leaders in psychological therapies research, and to build skills in research and understanding how therapy trials are delivered in the NHS. You will join a broader group of researchers in the North East and work with colleagues conducting other research trials on the understanding and treatment of experiences like voices, visions and paranoia.

The overall project leads are Professor Daniel Freeman and Dr. Felicity Waite from Oxford together with a large team of co-applicants and collaborators from six sites around the country, and colleagues in Cumbria Northumberland, Tyne and Wear FT. Service user researchers are leading on a number of aspects of the trial and the treatment is very much developed with people with lived experience.

The currently advertised post is for 24 months with the likelihood it will be extended for several months.

The post will help deliver a large-scale Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a new psychological treatment for people with sleep difficulties. The post will be based in Newcastle but will involve travel across the Trust. The main role of the trial assistant will be as outlined below:
Screening, recruitment, and assessment of patients for the sleeping better randomised controlled trial of psychological treatment. This will involve speaking to referrers regularly, attending clinical team meetings, visiting First episode psychosis teams, and At risk mental state (ARMS) teams. There are monthly recruitment targets.

Participants will be seen in clinic settings or at home across a large geographical area. This means there will be extensive travel which would be facilitated by having valid driving licence, and access to own or other independent means of transport.

Good record-keeping will be needed, including updating medical records with trial progress and completing the recruitment database.

You will need to produce regular reports on the recruitment process (including managing the recruitment database) and assessments.

You will need to regularly enter and check data in the study databases.

Attendance at supervision will be expected, and at appropriate research team meetings, including training at the lead site, Oxford.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.

The post will provide experience in engaging individuals with psychosis and other presenting issues; assessment; NHS services; and clinical trials methodology. The post would suit individuals interested in going on to pursue a career in clinical psychology or clinical research. You will be given full training in assessment, good clinical practice, and trust procedures.

The project is led locally by Robert Dudley and the overall project leads are Prof Daniel Freeman and Dr. Felicity Waite at Oxford University. Together with a team of co-applicants we will be recruiting study participants at 6 main sites, each with their own teams. The post holder will work under the supervision of Robert Dudley, the local site Principal Investigator, and a local trial coordinator, and in a close working partnership with the central Trial team based at Oxford. The post-holders will be key to the successful delivery of this trial and will lead on recruitment, assessment, and follow up of the participants. For details of the sleep intervention please look at this description ( A targeted psychological treatment for sleep problems in young people at ultra-high risk of psychosis in England (SleepWell): a parallel group, single-blind, randomised controlled feasibility trial - The Lancet Psychiatry )

Your main duties will be to meet the monthly recruitment targets, and to undertake assessments using a battery of measures, interviews, and cognitive assessments.

To do this you will be actively liaising with teams, promoting the study, discussing referrals with clinicians, making contact with potential participants, gaining informed consent, undertaking sensitively a comprehensive assessment battery. You will ensure people have the capacity and competence to make informed judgments about participating in the
