This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-profile, fully NHS-funded doctoral programme at the centre of regional mental health workforce development and national clinical psychology training. Delivered in partnership with the University of Nottingham and regional NHS Trusts, the Trent DClinPsy is a well-established and highly regarded programme that brings together clinical excellence, research, and strong multi-agency collaboration.

As Programme Director, you will provide academic, clinical, and organisational leadership for the Lincoln-based provision, ensuring an outstanding trainee experience alongside the highest standards of quality, governance, and professional accreditation. Working closely with colleagues at Nottingham and with NHS partners across the region, you will help sustain and strengthen the collaborative relationships that underpin the programme’s success.

You will also guide its future development by supporting planned growth, responding to evolving workforce needs, and driving innovation in clinical education. In doing so, you will lead and support a committed team of academic and clinical staff, fostering a positive, inclusive, and high-performing culture. The role also offers the opportunity to maintain and develop your own academic and/or clinical profile, contributing to the wider research and impact ambitions of the School.
