Manchester, United Kingdom Greater Manchester Mental Health Full time
Job Overview

This role will be a key part of two NIHR-funded, multi-site clinical trials: The Feeling Safer trial and the Bipolar At-Risk Trial. The post-holder will have a central role in the trial, responsible for the day-to-day delivery of the Feeling Safer trial within the local NHS trust.

Main Duties
  • Provide highly specialist, cognitive-behavioural assessment, formulation, therapy, and supervision in the context of the clinical trials.
  • 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.
  • Supervise other staff in the delivery of the treatment, ensuring high rates of engagement and fidelity to the protocol.
  • Supervise research assistants working on the trial, ensuring recruitment targets are achieved, assessments are completed, and blinding of research assessors is maintained.
Working for Our Organisation

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.

Person Specification
  • Doctorate in clinical psychology.
  • Experience of providing cognitive-behavioural approaches to clients experiencing psychosis and/or bipolar disorder.
  • Minimum of 2 years post-qualification experience.

We are committed to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults and require all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are aspiring to ensure our workforce is representative of the diverse communities that we serve, and we are strongly committed to removing barriers to employment for candidates from under-represented groups.
