Lecturer in Clinical Psychology (Professional Practice)

We are very pleased to announce the availability of a lectureship in the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.  We are able to offer candidates the opportunity to work across academic, research and clinical aspects of the Course, including 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 major role in organizing one aspect of the Course, for example, practice placements or the curriculum.

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 planned systemic pathway. The post-holders will join an innovative and supportive team of 18 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.

Offered full-time, but we would be happy to consider those wanting to work part-time (0.5 to 1.0 FTE). 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 experience but we are open to considering newly qualified clinical psychology graduates.   BABCP or AFT accreditation would be an advantage.

The post is based in Egham, where the College is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London. A mix of working from home and working in the department is offered if desired.  Information about our existing research and teaching programmes can be found here: http://www.rhul.ac.uk/psychology/home.aspx.

Informal enquiries regarding these posts can be directed to the DClinPsy Course Director, Professor Helen Pote (h.pote@rhul.ac.uk) or DClinPsy Deputy Course Director, Dr Kate Theodore Kate.Theodore@rhul.ac.uk
