The position would suit a clinician with strong interests in cognitive therapy, treatment innovation, and clinical trials.

The post holder will be expected to support and promote a set of values that maximise the potential of individuals by promoting their recovery with the aim of reducing social exclusion, stigma and the potentially disabling effects of severe mental illness.
