Lecturer (Supervisor/Tutor - CYP SFP)

This new part-time (0.3 FTE) post is available from January 2025 until 31 December 2025 on a fixed term basis.

This role offers the opportunity for hybrid working – some time on campus and some from home.

About the role

The Faculty wishes to recruit one part-time (30%FTE in total) Clinical Supervisor / Tutor in Systemic Family Practice (SFP) to support the delivery of the Children and Young Peoples' CYP Psychological Therapies training programme, Systemic Family Practice course. This post is available from January 2025 on a fixed term basis until 31^st December 2025 in the Clinical Education Development and Research (CEDAR) team. It is highly likely that the post will be renewed dependent on funding.  

The SFP programme is an Intermediate level Systemic Family Psychotherapy course accredited by AFT. It is within a CYP-Psychological Therapies “wrapper” and so has a set of clinical principles that underpin the teaching activity. The SFP programme therefore sits within a wider ‘Core’ CYP-Psychological Therapies approach. As well as this, the Exeter University Systemic Programmes teach with a “more than the model” perspective. This SFP programme conforms to the SFP Curriculum but attends to a range of wider systemic practice skills and encourages clinical flexibility both within the evidence base for the models taught and within complex CAMHS presentations.

About you 

We would welcome applicants who will possess an in-depth understanding of SFP applied to:

• Eating disorders
• and/ or depression / self-harm and conduct approaches

SFP teaching coalesces around a series of manuals: FT-AN/ ABFT/ SHIFT/ FFT. It is expected that applicants are conversant with these manuals and have clinical experience of using them with families.

The SFP team teaches around 15 students a year within the Recruit to Train CYP-Psychological Therapies programme. This is a small committed team who remain committed to reflexive evidence based practice.

The Clinical Tutor role will involve:

• Tutoring a group of students
• Providing in depth supervision (often based on clinical films)
• Regular teaching across the curriculum, including teaching on evidence based models (dependent on experience and interest)

Currently teaching is being delivered predominantly through in person teaching, with some online delivery. Applicants must understand these will not be ‘remote’ contracts.
