SEDS are launching an innovative new Inpatient Transition Pathway (ITP) and looking for passionate and skilled new team members. The ITP aims to improve patient experience, avoid inpatient stays and ensure seamless transitions between inpatient and community care. We’re now recruiting a Band 7 Clinical Specialist (Nurse or Occupational Therapist). In this role, you will:
* Provide skilled liaison between community and inpatient services across the South East.
* Support patients through their entire inpatient journey — from preparing for admission, to in-reach during treatment, to early and well-planned discharge.
* Carry a caseload and deliver evidence-based interventions that begin pre-discharge and continue in the community.
* Work closely with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to care planning meetings.
SEDS is a Sussex wide service. You’ll be part of a nurturing, collaborative team that values clinical supervision, ongoing training and career development.
Whether you’re an experienced clinician already working in eating disorder services or are ready for the next step in your career and can demonstrate transferrable skills and passion for this area of practice, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a lasting impact — helping people find hope, stability, and recovery in the community.
Key responsibilities of the role:
You will form strong working relationships with the South East specialist eating disorder inpatient teams.
* · You will work collaboratively with the client, carers and MDT to enhance community care and avoid inpatient admission where possible.
* Assess and support patients’ physical, psychological and social needs throughout their care.
* · You will be central to preparing patients for admission to Specialist Eating Disorder Units (SEDUs) either directly or supporting team members.
* · You will liaise with SEDUs and the Provider Collaborative to share the co-produced goals for the inpatient phase of treatment.
* · You will lead on maintaining clinical oversight of all patients on SEDU's through your in-reach work
* · You will hold a small complex clinical caseload and deliver evidence-based treatments whilst promoting patients' physical health and social integration.
* · You will at times work autonomously with the support of your professional lead.
· You will work closely with the wider team and chair meetings.
REQUIREMENTS
Successful applications will be required to have:
A degree/ diploma in Nursing (Both general and mental health nurses are considered for this role) Or a Degree/ Masters in Occupational Therapy.
