We are very pleased to announce the availability of a part time, fixed term Lectureship (0.6 FTE) on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology for a period of six months to cover maternity leave from September 2024.  We are able to offer candidates the opportunity to work within the research stream of the Course, supervising doctoral level research and organizing and delivering research aspects of the programme. This is coupled with usual lecturer roles in teaching, student support and clinical competence monitoring.

It is a really exciting time for clinical psychology, with another substantial expansion of training, and this post offer an opportunity to contribute to 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. 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 is an ideal opportunity for someone with existing experience in clinical psychology training or those with research experience considering whether this career path would suit them. Ideally, we would appoint those with some clinical or research supervision experience, but we are open to considering newly qualified clinical psychology graduates.  

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.

In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:

• Generous annual leave entitlement
