Job summary
Applications are invited for a WTE Band 5 Senior Assistant Psychologist for 12 months in the first instance, within GMMH NHS FT. The successful candidate must be able to start in post on 01/09/2024
In this NIHR-funded programme of research, Prof Daniel Freeman and team at the University of Oxford have created a new six-month guided online programme for the treatment of persecutory delusions called Feeling Safer. Users can access Feeling Safer whenever they choose via smartphone/computer/or tablet. A range of mental health workers can support the delivery of the treatment over six months. Six face-to-face sessions will be reserved for going out with patients into everyday situations to relearn safety. By providing Feeling Safe in an accessible version across the NHS, we aim to achieve substantially improved outcomes for the large number of people with persecutory delusions who have not responded sufficiently to current treatment.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the research team that is evaluating Feeling Safer via a multi-centre randomised controlled trial treating patients diagnosed with psychosis and with a current persecutory delusion. Patients will be randomised to one of four conditions; (1) Feeling Safer + treatment as usual, supported by peer support workers, (2) Feeling Safer + treatment as usual, supported by assistant psychologists , (3) Feeling Safer + treatment as usual, supported by a clinical psychologist providing CBT therapy, (4) treatment as usual.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will have a good honours degree in Psychology with experience of psychological research, and experience working as an assistant psychologist/research assistant with clients who experience mental health difficulties. Strong interpersonal, communication and organisational abilities are essential, as are the abilities to work independently and collaboratively with colleagues. The post will involve frequent travel around Greater Manchester to meet with participants. No previous experience delivering therapy is required as extensive training and support will be offered, as well as weekly individual supervision from a Clinical Psychologist and regular meeting opportunities with other Senior Assistant Psychologists at other trial sites.
The main duties are:
To work with participants who experience psychosis to complete the specialist CBT intervention (Feeling Safer) in line with the intervention manual and study protocol. To produce clinical reports about participants' engagement with the intervention. To attend clinical supervision with a Clinical Psychologist, as well as study team meetings and training sessions. To maintain and manage databases and update participants' medical records with details of therapy sessions. To ensure the "blind" is retained (, ensuring that research assistants are not aware of participants' treatment allocations).
