Digital Therapy Narrator
Job Description
SlowMo is a new, digitally supported psychological therapy that aims to reduce fears of harm from others (also known as paranoia) and promote living well. It is designed to address key barriers to improving outcomes in psychosis - treatment access, engagement, and effectiveness, particularly for marginalised groups. SlowMo is the first digitally supported therapy for psychosis to demonstrate evidence of uptake, engagement, efficacy, and positive user experience across a diversity of people in a large multisite randomised control trial.
We are now doing a Wellcome Trust funded study to investigate whether SlowMo can be delivered in routine NHS care, outside of a clinical trial. To support this evaluation, our team is currently developing version 2 of the software, incorporating recommendations from trial participants about how to improve its user experience.
These posts will support the production of videos that are included in the 11 SlowMo therapy sessions. The videos provide information about what worries are like, what keeps them going, and what can help. There is one general narrator and 3 character narrators. Each narrator will be required to deliver voiceovers for approximately 11-15 videos, that are roughly 30 - 90 seconds in length. Voiceover artists will be provided with the scripts, and asked to record and then transfer the audio files digitally to the research team. The work will be coordinated by Dr Amy Hardy (SlowMo2 Study Lead). There will be an initial meeting to discuss the brief and role in more detail, with the possibility of follow-up meetings, if required. The work will be in 3 stages.
- Stage 1. Initial voiceover recorded for first pilot set of videos (1 video per narrator, for 1 session) to be completed asap, early August latest.
- Stage 2. Majority of voiceovers recorded (approximately 10 videos per narrator, for 8 sessions) to be completed by mid-September latest.
- Stage 3. Final voiceover recording for (approximately 2 videos per narrator, for 2 sessions) to be completed by end of the year latest.
*Please note the hours per week box is not accurate - hours per week will fluctuate during the duration of the posts. It is anticipated that the work will not be time consuming, given the brevity of the videos, and can be fitted around the narrator's schedule (as long as submission deadlines are met) and similarly any meetings can be arranged at mutually convenient times. Narrators will be required to monitor the hours they spent working on the project, and submit timesheets for approval.
Responsible to: Dr Amy Hardy (Clinical Psychologist Lecturer & Consultant Clinical Psychologist), Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London. Email: amy.hardy@kcl.ac.uk.
