Overview of the Role

Clinical Psychology Anti-Racism Lead

Clinical Psychology Training Programme 

Division of Psychological and Social Medicine

Faculty of Medicine and Health

We are looking for an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist to work as an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Tutor on the team, with a particular responsibility to coordinate anti-racism activities across the programme. 

Leeds has a longstanding and highly regarded clinical psychology training programme. We are a close knit, friendly and supportive team, with excellent links with clinical psychology and expert by experience colleagues in West Yorkshire, and academic colleagues in the Institute for Health Sciences. 

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in clinical psychology training is a national and local priority, and this post is based in the new inclusion team on the programme. 

The clinical psychology training programme is committed to diversity, and is supported by our host Division and School, the only Medical School in the UK to hold a Gold Athena SWAN award for Gender Equality.

The postholder will have a remit to build on what the programme has already achieved in this area, and establishing sustainable changes to be incorporated into the programme in the future. They will coordinate anti-racism aspects on the training programme, including teaching, mentoring, curriculum review, community outreach, support for trainees and selection. They will also have a role in broader consultation with local stakeholders. The postholder will also be expected to work with the inclusion team on the programme, and to link in with other initiatives at the University of Leeds, and with other clinical psychology training programmes regionally and nationally.

We welcome and encourage applications from all clinical psychologists. For this role we would particularly encourage applications from, but not limited to Black, Asian, people who belong to a minority ethnic community, as this group is underrepresented in the Profession. We will select the best candidate solely on the basis of merit and ability to do the job.
