No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Applications are sought from enthusiastic, team-orientated and flexible individuals ideally with experience of working on a clinical psychology training programme and/or experience of Higher Education. However, leadership experience within an NHS/clinical role will also provide valuable skills and experience relevant to the role. Successful applicants will have a clinical psychology qualification, be registered with the Health and Care Professions’ Council and have up-to-date knowledge of clinical psychology practice. Applicants should have substantial experience of working post-qualification (minimum of five years) and have an enthusiasm for training. A track record of publications would be advantageous.

Main Responsibilities
The role involves oversight responsibility of the clinical strand of the programme but will be expected to participate in the academic and research strands as appropriate. Working directly with the clinical tutors, the post holder will be responsible for placement allocations, quality monitoring and development of the clinical experience of trainees, and co-ordination of supervisor training. There is an expectation that the post holder will also engage in research supervision of Doctoral trainees as well as teaching, relevant to the role, experience and areas of clinical expertise.
We benefit from working across the region with several organisations and agencies, including NHS, third sector, social enterprise and charitable organisations.
