Background of department/role
Join the Internationally renowned Salomons Institute in Applied Psychology by providing excellent teaching and research supervision Doctorate for trainees on our highly regarded Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy).
The Salomons Institute is based in the centre of Tunbridge Wells, 10 minutes’ walk from the station and enjoys excellent administrative, IT and library support. The DClinPsy Programme has a solid value base that aligns with the NHS values, HCPC and BPS codes of professional conduct, and has an inclusive stance.
As a Research Tutor, you will ideally have either have a professional doctorate or a PhD in psychology with research experience in areas relevant to clinical psychology. Whilst professional qualification as an HCPC-registered practitioner psychologist is desirable, this is not an essential criterion for the role.
This role contributes to the development and delivery of the DClinPsy programme, with responsibilities including teaching, academic and research support.
You will bring experience of supervision and teaching, and a commitment to supporting trainee development, collaborative working, and the course’s expressed values.
Please note the panel will consider part time and job share requests please outline in your application your working hour preference.
How will you work?
We are committed to supporting flexible methods of working wherever possible and this role is flexible and connected. Campus attendance will vary on a day-to-day basis and across the year but must purposefully align to the service being delivered and to the needs of our students, staff, and stakeholders.
It is expected that the majority of your working time will be spent on campus and most likely to be on a Thursday and Friday when most teaching and trainee engagement takes place.
