This post offers an exciting opportunity to be involved in shaping development of our teaching and research in Mental Health, including Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Counselling, Health Psychology, or a related interdisciplinary area.
You will contribute to teaching across the range of our teaching programmes, but with particular focus on postgraduate teaching in Clinical and Mental Health Psychology. Across the School we have a broad and expanding provision of postgraduate clinical training, including our Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Clinical Associate Psychology apprenticeships, and our MSc Clinical Psychology programme.
We welcome applications for part-time appointments, with the potential for flexibility around existing clinical or other roles, and hybrid working,
The School and wider context
The School of Psychology at the University of Plymouth is one of the largest in the UK with over 70 academics and 1,000 students studying a range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes across the breadth of the discipline. You will benefit from a positive and collegiate working environment that values and promotes excellence in all academic activities.
The School fosters collaborative research and supports the development of real-world impact. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework assessment 100% of our research environment and research impact was rated as either world-leading (4*) or internationally excellent (3*), along with 73% of our research outputs.
To support the research aims of our academics the School houses an excellent suite of research laboratories supporting behavioural, health, clinical, neuroscience, and developmental research with technologies such as VR, eyetracking, EEG, and TMS. These are augmented with a dedicated Babylab, Health Lab and a new state-of-the-art Brain Research and Imaging Centre. We also benefit from being within a large Faculty of Health which also provides medical, dental, general, and mental health nursing, social work, and seven different allied health professions training. The University recently created a centre to facilitate interprofessional learning across the Faculty.
The Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Programme
The Plymouth Doctoral Clinical Psychology programme has been providing high-quality clinical psychology training in the Southwest for the past 40 years and was the first programme to adopt a doctoral training model. The programme is committed to values-based practice; working with compassion, courage, and creativity, in partnership with service users and communities to promote social inclusion, diversity, equality and health for all.

We have grown to be a successful and thriving programme with training specialist in adult community, acute and urgent care, Older Peoples, Learning Disability and Child and Young People’s services. The CAPs programme is predominantly delivered online, offering increased potential for hybrid working.
