This is an opportunity to support children and young people experiencing eating difficulties, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, ARFID, and related challenges.

You will work as part of a psychologically informed multi-disciplinary team, delivering structured, evidence-based interventions, supporting assessments, and helping promote recovery through trauma-informed, person-centred care, as well as getting involved in service projects and audit.

You will be supervised by a Clinical Psychologist and receive regular CPD opportunities, working in a service committed to inclusive, reflective and high-quality clinical care.

Main duties of the job

* Contribute to assessment, formulation, and care planning
* Support group and individual work with young people and families
* Liaise with schools, professionals and partner agencies
* Take part in service evaluation and clinical audit

This is an ideal opportunity for a CAP looking to grow their clinical skills or a developmental opportunity to become a trainee CAP and make a meaningful difference in a warm and supportive team.

About Us

Children and Family Health Devon (CFHD) comprises an Alliance of NHS organisations working together to improve health outcomes for children and young people in Devon.

CFHD provides integrated care and treatment for children and young people across physical and mental health which are provided by Torbay and South Devon Foundation Trust and Devon Partnership Trust. We are working closely with other organisations and providers to ensure we deliver locality and county-wide based integrated access to all of our services, based on the i-Thrive Framework.

CFHD works closely with our local universities of Plymouth, Exeter & the Peninsula Medical School where we support students in clinical training placements and in addition support our own staff to undertake post graduate training.

Our integrated care and treatment has been developed and refined in partnership with children, young people and their families/carers.

Our children and young people say

We would like the people who work for Children and Family Health Devon to be understanding, patient and respectful. They should be trustworthy and make us feel safe and comfortable. It is important that they use their skills and experience to listen carefully in a non-patronising and non-judgemental way. When staff are positive and friendly, they help to create an environment that is informal and without pressure.
