Background

The MSc Psychological Therapies with Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner is a one-of-a-kind programme that offers a self-funded alternative to aspiring PWPs who wish to gain the core qualification and further expertise. We are seeking to recruit three part-time Lecturers to support its delivery. The MSc benefits from a unique internal PWP placement at the innovative Health and Wellbeing Clinic, and the successful candidates will be expected to support the clinical delivery by offering supervision and holding a small clinical caseload.

The successful candidates will be responsible for developing teaching materials, delivering teaching and skills sessions, marking assessments, and offering personal/clinical tutoring to students. They will also support the delivery of the Health and Wellbeing Clinic through supervision and duty support for students, alongside a clinical caseload of Low Intensity/High Intensity CBT (dependent on qualifications). Additional responsibilities include activities raising the profile of the University/Programme, support with recruitment of students, and liaison with service providers and departments at the institution.

Person Specification

The successful candidates will have completed a BPS-accredited PWP course, and they can be a practicing PWP/CBT therapist (accredited with BPS/BABCP). They are expected to possess expertise in LICBT gained through experience as a clinical educator or another role which has strong links to championing the PWP profession. Teaching experience is preferred, but applications delivering high-quality supervision, CPD and/or in-house training may be considered.
