Band 6 Trainee Psychological Therapist/Band 7 Psychological Therapist

You should have strong statistical analysis skills, experience with large datasets, an interest in mental health research, and familiarity with data science. Strong interpersonal skills are essential.

You will design and test an algorithm for TRD patients, analyze data, facilitate workshops, manage participant data, prepare reports, and assist with grant applications and research tasks.

We are recruiting a passionate and dedicated research assistant to help build and test an algorithm to identify patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD) from electronic health records. TRD affects about 1 in 3 people with major depression and occurs when 2 or more antidepressant treatments fail to improve someone’s depression symptoms. By leveraging advanced algorithms, including natural language processing (NLP), our goal is to improve the identification of this group and to offer better treatments to those who may have been missed or have yet to achieve remission. You will be working on mood disorders research within the Mental Health Mission – an ambitious government initiative to improve mental health treatment and infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in statistical analysis, experience in cleaning and maintaining large datasets, and an interest in mental health research. Familiarity with data science, particularly machine learning and/or NLP would be advantageous. You must also have strong interpersonal skills, the ability to work both independently and collaborate with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and a commitment to seek input from service users. We will support your career progression and provide opportunities for you to contribute to scientific publications. * Work closely with the Research Fellow (Dr Rebekah Amos) and other collaborators to design, refine, and test an algorithm that identifies TRD patients, using electronic healthcare records and NLP. * Conduct and support quantitative data analysis, focusing on psychometric testing and statistical techniques. Strong expertise in handling large datasets is essential. * Facilitate workshops with individuals who have lived experience of TRD, integrating their feedback into the algorithm’s development to improve patient outcomes. * Liaise with stakeholders across sites, ensuring smooth communication, troubleshooting issues, and contributing to future iterations of the algorithm. * Ensure secure storage and management of participant data in compliance with Trust policies and ethical guidelines. * Assist with the preparation of reports, presentations, and research papers for dissemination within the Trust and the broader healthcare community. * Stay up to date with relevant research developments in data science, mental health, and machine learning, bringing new insights to the project. * Contribute to the preparation of future research grant applications and assist with research administration tasks as needed.
