We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated person to work within the Research & Innovation Department to support the Sleeping Better Study: a randomised controlled trial testing the effects of treating sleep difficulties in patients at ultra-high risk of psychosis and patients diagnosed with non-affective psychosis.

The Sleeping Better Study will is a randomised controlled trial with two cohorts: 554 patients at ultra-high risk of psychosis and 554 patients with diagnosed psychosis (e.g. schizophrenia). Each cohort (ultra-high risk, diagnosed psychosis) will be reported separately. The study aims to conduct the first definitive test of the idea that psychological therapy can help people with psychosis to enjoy greatly improved sleep and that this will lead to gains in many other aspects of people’s lives.

The successful candidate will also be expected to support a range of related National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Portfolio studies across the Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT). This includes direct responsibility for the recruitment of service users / carers into studies, as well as the efficient delivery of these studies in line with agreed objectives.

The service received an overall rating of Good by the CQC and an Outstanding for care and compassion of which we are rightly proud. We have also been recognised both locally and nationally by receiving awards for the services we provide.

Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust provides a full range of expanding physical, mental health and learning disability services to children, young adults, adults and older adults over many sites across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull.

Services are provided to a population of over one million people living in Coventry and Warwickshire and also a wider geographical area in some of our specialist services, we see on average around 5,000 patients every day.
