Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part time 0.8 Assistant Psychologist (Band 5) within adult eating disorder services.
This is a new post created as part of the East of England Provider Collaborative to establish the Adult Eating Disorder Admission Avoidance Service called A-EDIT. The Trust is working with CPFT and HPFT on the implementation of the A-EDIT model, which will supersede current regional pilot projects in the A2A pathway.

All staff will be contracted to CPFT or HPFT but will be located across the region and may travel. Clinical space across the region will be used on an ad hoc basis, with bases in Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.
Responsibilities
* Contribute to the delivery of both virtual and face-to-face interventions as part of the A-EDIT team.
* Travel across the region as required and work flexibly to meet service needs.
* Engage in data collection and analysis to support service improvement, including outcome data analysis and audits.
* Collaborate with multidisciplinary colleagues to provide high-quality psychological services within adult eating disorders.
