We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual who can work alongside colleagues, build a rapport with young people and families and support delivery of planned interventions.
The team is an addition to the existing multi-disciplinary community and inpatient CAMHS Eating Disorders Service. The EDIT Team work closely alongside the existing teams and provide intensive, time limited intervention to young people with an eating disorder that may be at risk of admission.
The team will provide a package of enhanced mealtime support and intensive work with young people and families, usually within their own home, the aim being to prevent hospital admissions.
Alternatively, if admission is deemed clinically necessary, home leave and discharge may be facilitated sooner by the involvement of the EDIT Team.
The successful candidate will have experience of working with young people, and their families; and while experience in eating disorders would be an advantage, training and development opportunities will be provided for the right applicant.
The service will be provided 8am to 8pm, seven days a week therefore the successful post holders will be required to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends.
The service covers the large geographical area of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire, with some input into North East Lincolnshire so the ability to commute within this area is essential.
Main duties of the job
The main elements of the clinical work will include using an evidence-based model and care pathway to support the planning and delivery of a package of enhanced mealtime support and intensive work with young people and families, usually within their own home, to prevent or reduce hospital admissions.
The post holder will provide clinical support, guidance and shift leadership to unregistered members of the team whilst receiving a high level of training and supervision themselves.
