Clinical Psychologist (KTP Associate, Anaphylaxis UK)

Shape the future of allergy-related anxiety care!

The University of Surrey, in collaboration with Anaphylaxis UK, a leading allergy charity, are seeking a passionate Clinical Psychologist , to spearhead a groundbreaking Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Project.

For 30 years, Anaphylaxis UK have been empowering people with serious allergies and their families by providing evidence-based information across various sectors. Now, they’re taking a bold step towards mental health. 

The KTP aims to revolutionise allergy-related anxiety care.

• Develop and train staff to deliver a bespoke, digitised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based intervention specifically designed to reduce allergy-related anxiety.
• Enhance the skills of volunteer support group leaders and helpline staff through training, consultation, and clinical leadership, as part of developing a psychologically informed environment (PIE).
• Position Anaphylaxis UK as a leader in tackling allergy-related mental health challenges, ultimately improving lives and reducing healthcare burden.

This position is based with Anaphylaxis UK in Farnborough, Hampshire - the Charity is currently operating VIRTUALLY. You will be supported by a team of renowned experts from the University of Surrey, including Professor Christina Jones and Dr Warren Matofsky (School of Psychology). 

This role is perfect for a highly motivated Clinical Psychologist who is:

• Doctoral level trained in clinical psychology (accredited by the British Psychological Society).
• HCPC registered.
• Experience in complex clinical assessment, intervention, and case management (requires sustained focus and emotional resilience).
• Committed to developing as a trainer, supervisor, and leader of innovative clinical services.
• Excited by the opportunity to work therapeutically and engage in research with children, young people, adults, and families.
• Experience in doctoral-level research (design, analysis with-SPSS/Jamovi, interpretation and dissemination).

This role is ideal for a person who thrives in a collaborative, technologically evolving environment. Excellent team dynamics and service governance implementation skills are essential. A genuine interest in specialised psychological therapies for difficult-to-treat groups is a plus. 

This 36-month fixed-term contract offers exceptional benefits.

• Business-based training: Develop diverse technical and non-technical soft skills (such as project management).
• Generous dedicated training budget: Invest in continuous learning and professional growth, with time specifically allocated for further development.
• Extensive support package includes weekly supervision with research and clinical specialists.
• Potential for a permanent position at Anaphylaxis UK upon successful completion of the project.
