CAMHS Eating Disorder Specialist Nurse
The closing date is 20 June 2026
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and skilled Band 6 Specialist Mental Health Nurse. This is a secondment post to provide cover for absence for a specific purpose that we anticipate will be required for 6 months. You will work within our Specialist Eating Disorder team and join our multidisciplinary Community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CCAMHS) on the Isle of Wight.
The post holder will support the Eating Disorder Clinical Lead to ensure the delivery of an Eating Disorder pathway for young people and their families using the service. You will be expected to manage a caseload of young people with eating difficulties who may also have co‑morbid mental health difficulties and you will have co‑ordinated responsibility for the young people. The role involves multi‑disciplinary working and bespoke packages of care that are evidence‑informed and following NICE guideline standards. The post holder will carry out comprehensive assessments and interventions supported by the team within Tier 3 CCAMHS and hold their own caseload.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be responsible, in collaboration with the team, for Eating Disorder assessments and interventions of children and young people referred to our service. The ability to make balanced decisions and use a positive approach whilst managing potentially high‑pressure situations is an essential part of the role. The post involves inter‑agency liaisons with all the local authority and third‑sector services, Child and Family Social Services, Education department and other agencies as required. The post will primarily be based at the CCAMHS clinic and you may also be required to work with young people and their families within their own homes or the Paediatric ward at the local hospital St Mary’s.
