You will be joining a well-established and supportive community service with a wide multidisciplinary team and expanding nursing team. The nursing team is well established with a range of experience and knowledge: we currently have a band 8 Lead Nurse, 3 x band 7 nurses and 2 x band 6 nurses as well as student nurses throughout the year. There will be learning and training opportunities within the team and we will support you with your development within the role. You will receive monthly clinical and management supervision from a band 7 nurse as well as monthly group nursing supervision. This would be a wonderful opportunity to work with young people and families in the community and gain knowledge and experience working with Eating Disorders, alongside clinical assessment skills and physical health monitoring assessments.
We follow the 2015 NHSE community eating disorders Access and Waiting Times Guidelines and Standards; and believe in early and fast intervention for all young people.
The service is now recognised as a nationally top‑achieving service with some of the highest outcomes. We are a really friendly and dynamic team and are CARE Excellence accredited.
The service currently operates between Monday – Friday (8am – 6pm). We currently work with a mix of face‑to‑face and online depending on the need and wish of the young person and the family. Flexible and part‑time hours will also be considered.
