We welcome your application.
We are recruiting an Assistant Psychologist post (AP) (1.0 wte) to help evaluate the benefit of a new digitally provided therapy for people with psychosis.
The currently advertised post is for 12 months with the likelihood it will be extended for seven months more.
The Slomo2 study is investigating whether a new form of digitally delivered treatment helps reduce distress from suspicious and mistrustful thinking reported by people with paranoia, and improves people's quality of life.
This is multi-centre study of a psychological intervention to improve suspicious thinking in people with psychosis. The post-holder will be based with Robert Dudley's research team in the Early intervention in Psychosis service and colleagues working on other psychosis research projects at St Nicholas Hospital in Newcastle, and will work in CNTW NHS Foundation Trust.
The post will help deliver a large-scale study to evaluate the real world use and clinical effectiveness of a new psychological treatment for people with worries and suspicions about others. The post will be based in Newcastle but will involve travel across the Trust. The post holder will act as a research assistant and work with the trial therapists, trial coordinator and the site lead to help evaluate the treatment trial.
The ideal candidate will have experience in research and or clinical settings. It may help if you have experience of working with people who have experienced difficulties with paranoia and unusual experiences like hallucinations. They should have the ability to organize and manage multiple interlinked components of the project and their work. They will need to demonstrate a high level of interpersonal skills and be able to conduct interviews and assessment with potentially vulnerable individuals. Most importantly, they will need to be enthusiastic about the research area and have a high level of motivation and commitment.
