The post is based at the GMMH Psychological Therapies Training Centre (PTTC) which is renowned for providing high quality training to students in evidence based psychological therapies across the North West region and beyond. This innovative course provides training in the knowledge and key skills required to become a systemic psychotherapist. Trainees engage with range of theory, models and research with an emphasis upon adult learning principles, evidence based practice and creative approaches within systemic family therapy. This is an exciting opportunity to join our multi-disciplinary team and to work collaboratively within our established and highly regarded psychological therapies training programmes.
Main duties of the job
Prospective candidates will have substantial experience of delivering systemic training, systemic supervision and clinical practice. We are looking to recruit an experienced leader with knowledge and experience of multi-professional working, strategic liaison with managers, workforce leads and commissioners. Our course is strongly committed to addressing systemic racism and social justice within systemic family psychotherapy.

Applicants will need a demonstrable interest in systemic research and knowledge and understanding of the training, governance and strategic contexts relating to Family and Systemic Practice. They will also have excellent team management, project management, communication and organisational skills and will be able to lead, develop, coordinate and participate within all aspects of the training.
