Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Psychologist/Counselling Psychologist or Psychological Therapist to join our Adult Eating Disorder Service at an important period of transition. Our current inpatient facility is moving to a new site within the trust and service delivery models across the pathway are being reviewed going forward. Our psychology team has a key role in supporting this work. Our clinicians work into our community, day service, intensive home treatment and inpatient pathways and whilst it is envisaged that the postholder will largely work into our day service and community settings there is likely to be opportunities to work into the inpatient part of the pathway too in response to patient/ service need. The adult eating disorder service is a specialist regional service for adults experiencing an eating disorder, particularly Anorexia Nervosa. The area covered by the post will be the wide geographical area covered by CNTW and may include a combination of online and face to face appointments. Within the team however work is organised on a patch/ locality basis to ensure effective use of time/ resources.
