About the role:
Come and join our brilliant and friendly team! As part of the growth and development of our Clinical Psychology provision, we are looking for highly motivated clinical psychology lecturers to join us in delivering our postgraduate programme and contributing to our high-quality research profile. The post holder will become part of a friendly, hard-working, and dedicated team of academics who deliver the Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
The University of Staffordshire Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology is delivered in partnership with local clinical psychologists in Shropshire and Staffordshire. The overarching framework for the programme is the impact of Society and Context on psychological well-being, with an emphasis on prevention, early intervention, innovative practice, and the importance of critical and contextual thinking. Our service user and carer group has a central role in contributing to and influencing all aspects of programme delivery. We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture that promotes equality and diversity. Applications are sought from enthusiastic, team-oriented, and flexible individuals.
Our trainee cohorts remain comparatively small at an intake of 24 per year, allowing us to prioritize working closely and supportively with both colleagues and our trainees.
We benefit from superb purpose-built facilities in a £30 million Science Centre, and we work across the region with several organisations and agencies, including NHS, third sector, social enterprise, and charitable organisations. Putting the students first is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing an excellent student experience through exciting and innovative programmes and research and practice-informed teaching at every level.
Main Responsibilities:
We are looking for post holders to contribute to the clinical experience element of doctoral training as Clinical Tutors. Post holders will support the tasks of the clinical strand of the programme, including placement planning and review processes, regional supervisor training in collaboration with the Coventry and Warwick and Birmingham DClinPsy programmes, and clinical tutoring tasks. Clinical tutors also support a number of trainees as their academic mentor and research supervisor, contribute to teaching and clinical skills sessions, and other programme requirements such as selection processes and viva examinations.
Successful applicants will have a clinical psychology qualification and up-to-date knowledge of clinical psychology practice. Applicants should have demonstrable experience of working post-qualification (minimum of two years) and have an enthusiasm for supporting the training and personal and professional development of our next generation of Clinical Psychologists to be safe, competent, resilient, and reflective practitioners. Previous experience of working on a clinical psychology training programme and/or in Higher Education is desirable but not essential. To meet current gaps in our team, experience of working with older adults and/or neuropsychology would be beneficial, but again is not essential. Our first priority is recruiting staff with a shared value-base, and we are committed to mentoring and supporting the right people in their transition into the role.
It is an essential requirement of the post that you hold current registration with the Health and Care Professions’ Council as a Practitioner Psychologist; applicants without this will not be shortlisted.
