Coventry University Group is a global education provider dedicated to Creating Better Futures. We are driven by the belief that through education, equity, and innovation, we empower our students, people, and communities to transform their lives.

Central to our 2030 Strategy is the ambitious growth of our School of Health and Care to meet the evolving health needs of the future locally, nationally, and globally. To enable this, our School has evolved into Coventry University Health and Care Limited. This agile, autonomous structure allows us to push boundaries and foster closer partnerships, enabling us to scale our provision and widen access to rewarding careers across the health and social care sector.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Coventry University and The University of Warwick as an Assistant Professor (Teaching) - Research Lead, on a fixed term contract.

This Doctorate is a joint collaboration between Coventry University, the University of Warwick, Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust, other NHS providers, and NHS England. The programme is committed to developing reflective practitioners and fostering innovation in clinical psychology education. Therefore, we are inviting applications from HCPC registered Clinical Psychologists or suitably qualified individuals who hold a qualification at Doctoral level with a demonstrable track record of research in applied psychology.

The post holder will work collaboratively with the respective Clinical and Academic course leads, who will provide overall oversight for the divisions supported by the Programme Director.
Applicants should bring a broad range of experience across research and clinical settings, with demonstrable expertise in teaching within higher education and/or supervising clinical psychology trainees. We are particularly interested in candidates who apply a critical lens to issues of power and privilege and who have a passion for creativity and innovation in professional practice. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong digital fluency and the ability to design engaging teaching materials across diverse media.

We are seeking a postholder who is enthusiastic, self-motivated, and capable of working with sensitive information. The successful applicant will possess exceptional knowledge of psychological therapies theory and practice, expertise in doctoral-level supervision, and outstanding communication and organisational skills.

The successful post holder will be based within the CU Health and Care and will work with and lead other academic colleagues to enrich the student learning and teaching experience to ensure, as appropriate, relevant aspects of research, enterprise and professional context are embedded in modules and courses.

NHS Agenda for Change salary band 8a will be matched for this role using a market supplement payment. NHS secondments can be considered for this role.
