We're looking for an Assistant Psychologist/Clinical Research Assistant to join an ongoing NIHR funded-clinical trial RAPID (Remote Approaches to Psychosocial Intervention Delivery). The trial has already recruited over 600 participants, testing the effectiveness of two different psychological interventions to reduce suicidal ideations in patients attending Crisis Response and Home Treatment Teams (CRHTT). The position will include patient recruitment, taking informed consent, clinical research assessments and an opportunity to learn about the SAFETEL intervention.

The trial is led by Prof Tony Morrison (Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust). Dr Helen Beckwith and Prof Daniel Freeman (Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford) are leading the Oxford trial site. The post-holder would join the Oxford Cognitive Approaches to Psychosis (O-CAP) research team, led by Professor Freeman.

The post would be well suited to someone interested in pursuing a career in clinical psychology.
