You will have a relevant degree and appropriate supervisory training such as IAPT PG Cert in Supervision or other relevant qualification in supervisory training. Additionally, you should be accredited or eligible to work towards accreditation with relevant professional bodies such as the BABCP or UKCP.

The Psychology & Sociology Subject Area at the University of Northampton is a large, collegiate, and supportive department with an embedded culture of student focused teaching and high impact research.

Our current portfolio consists of a suite of BPS accredited undergraduate and postgraduate Psychology programmes, while our strengths at postgraduate level lie in the areas of Counselling, Children and Young People and Child and Adolescent Mental Health. We also deliver various programmes on Health Education England's Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) initiative, as part of the Midlands IAPT Collaborative.
About Us
Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.
We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That's why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.
We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.
Our commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that we do.
