The School of Psychology at the University of Lincoln is seeking to appoint two Lecturers/Senior Lecturers in CBT who will complement our existing strengths in teaching, research, and professional practice.

The School of Psychology is an expanding department within a university that has established a reputation as one of the most dynamic and fastest growing in the UK: the University of Lincoln was recently named as the Modern University of the Year in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021.

Following recent expansions, the University of Lincoln has positioned itself as a major provider of applied psychology healthcare training courses in the East Midlands. Through providing high-quality mental health training and research, and by supporting the NHS to develop a highly skilled mental health workforce, the School of Psychology is making a significant contribution to both local mental health services and to the well-being of the local community and is placed at the centre of mental health developments in the area. We are looking to enhance our Post Graduate Diploma in High Intensity Psychological Interventions (HIPI) Programme which holds accreditation with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). Trainees on this programme work in Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services in the NHS, delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. They attend university for 2 days per week and are based in clinical practice for the remainder of the week. The successful candidates will contribute to teaching on the programme, including the delivery of supervision groups.

We are currently recruiting for:

• 1x Lecturer/Senior Lecturer for 2 days per week (permanent)
• 1x Lecturer/Senior Lecturer for 3 days per week (maternity cover for 1 year)

Based at the heart of the beautiful historic city of Lincoln, you will join a friendly and thriving department with an outstanding reputation for student experience and rising reputation for excellence in research. The most recent Research Excellence Framework judged 90% of our research to be of international significance, with much of our work having outstanding levels of real-world impact. The University supports the progress and advancement of women in science and the School was recently awarded an Athena SWAN Silver award.

The School of Psychology recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and proactively works to make our School an inclusive environment. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as these groups are currently underrepresented at this level.
