About the role
The postholder will be responsible for working in accordance with the National Institute of Health Research principles of Good Clinical Practice. Tasks include liaison with multidisciplinary teams and therapists; study promotion; eliciting and managing referrals; participant recruitment; informed consent; data collection of quantitative (i.e. implementation, clinical, service use, technical and safety) and qualitative (i.e. service user experience of therapy) outcomes; technical support. The postholder will have weekly line management supervision, and group supervision with the Research Assistant Psychologists and Lived Experience Researchers from other sites.
SloMo aims to improve access, experience, and outcomes of psychological therapy for psychosis. The software was inclusively designed with people with lived experience of paranoia in psychosis. SloMo consists of 11 sessions with a therapist supported by an online therapy platform, and a personalised mobile app to assist management of worries in daily life. It works by targeting fast thinking habits and encouraging slow thinking, supporting people to find ways of feeling safer and living well. In our large, multi-centre RCT, SloMo was found to be efficacious, and highly engaging and deliverable, with improvements demonstrated in paranoia, worry, self-concept, quality of life and wellbeing, which were sustained over 6 months (Garety et al, 2021; Greenwood et al, 2021; Hardy et al, 2022; Ward et al, 2021). NICE recently recommended SloMo for use in the NHS whilst data is generated to address evidence gaps, which the SloMo2 study aims to do, to inform future guidance.
The post holder will be based at the IoPPN, Denmark Hill, London. However, the work will be undertaken across participating teams, including early intervention, community mental health and inpatient services, with home visits. It will predominantly occur within the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust with potential for travel to other local participating NHS Trusts.
This is a full time (35 Hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 31/08/2025.
