Part-Time, Permanent (28 hours per week)

We are very pleased to announce the availability of a lectureship (0.8WTE) on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.  We are able to offer candidates the opportunity to work within the academic, research or clinical streams of the Course, with opportunities for supervising doctoral and masters level research in a clinical area of their choice.   Those appointed will have the opportunity to develop their interests in applied areas of clinical psychology and have a role in organizing one aspect of the Course, for example,   practice placements, equality and diversity initiatives or student recruitment. 

It is a really exciting time for clinical psychology, with another substantial expansion of training, and the posts offer an opportunity to develop the Course in line with current and future NHS priorities. The Royal Holloway DClinPsy is a large well-respected training programme with an existing BABCP CBT pathway and a systemic pathway currently being piloted. The post-holders will join an innovative and supportive team of 20 academic staff with a range of expertise across child, adult, learning disability, health, older-adult and neuropsychology specialities. Students’ clinical experience spans North Thames services and working effectively with a range of NHS Trusts will be essential. Staff and student research is well supported within a vibrant Psychology Department, which is ranked in the top 5 psychology departments for research in the country. 

This permanent post is offered part Part-Time, up to a maximum of 0.8WTE. We offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package with generous annual leave and staff development opportunities, including a higher education teaching qualification. The posts are offered as professional practice contracts with a clinical market supplement and applicants are required to be HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologists with a recognised qualification in clinical psychology. 

Ideally, we would appoint those with some clinical or research experience, but we are open to considering newly qualified clinical psychology graduates.    BABCP or AFT accreditation would be an advantage.
