This is a part-time role (22.5 hours per week) on a fixed contract of 12 months based at the Department of Experimental Psychology in central Oxford.

Would you like to make a difference and use your own experience to do something positive for others in the field of psychosis?

We are recruiting for a Peer Support Worker to join our Oxford Cognitive Approaches to Psychosis clinical research group to work on delivering a new six-month guided online programme called Feeling Safer. We hope to substantially improve outcomes for the large number of people with persecutory delusions who have not responded sufficiently to current treatment.

You'll work in a team including a site lead, a clinical/counselling psychologist and research assistants to engage individuals at the early stages of psychosis and deliver this specialist CBT intervention (Feeling Safer) with close supervision from a clinical psychologist; working within NHS services and clinical trials methodology.

If you have lived experience of psychosis, bipolar disorder, or severe depression, with particular experience related to feeling unsafe due to inaccurate worries of harm from others, and would like to share this to help others then we would love to hear from you.

We have provisionally reserved the afternoon of Thursday 22nd May for interviews. If you are unavailable then please mention this in your application and in certain circumstances we may be able to offer an alternative interview slot.

You'll deliver a new six-month guided online programme for the treatment of persecutory delusions: Feeling Safer. It is an accessible and expanded version of the face-to-face therapy called Feeling Safe. Users can access Feeling Safer whenever they choose via smartphone/computer/or tablet. A range of mental health workers can support the delivery of the treatment over six months. Six face-to-face sessions will be reserved for a key task: going out with patients into everyday situations to relearn safety. By providing Feeling Safe in an accessible version for use across the NHS, we aim to achieve substantially improved outcomes for people with persecutory delusions who have not responded sufficiently to current treatment.

Please refer to the job description attached for a comprehensive list of duties.

We are a large clinical research team working to understand why mental health problems happen and how they can be best treated psychologically. The O-CAP team, led by Prof Daniel Freeman, comprises approximately 30 people, including clinical psychologists, project coordinators, peer researchers, VR computer scientists, research assistants, DPhil students, and administrators. The key focus is on improving outcomes for patients with psychosis.
