Are you a Graduate Psychologist with the drive to join an experienced and highly motivated CAMHS Eating Disorder Service (TEDS) to deliver responsive and effective services?


We have a full time vacancy in our CAMHS Eating Disorder Services (TEDS) in Salisbury Community TEDS working for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.

Salisbury TEDS/CAMHS is based on the site of Salisbury District Hospital in the beautiful historic Cathedral City in South Wiltshire.


You will be working 37.5 hours a week and part of an experienced multi-disciplinary eating disorders team inputting into clinical pathway developments, delivering high quality care and working alongside highly experienced colleagues including, clinical leads, psychologists, senior mental health practitioners, support workers and consultant psychiatrists.

You will be a motivated individual with an undergraduate degree in psychology (2:1), who can work in a team and who is passionate about the health and wellbeing of Children and Young People who experience Eating Disorders.


You will be contributing to the assessment and treatment of Children and Young People who have Eating Disorders, using a wide range of skills and methods.

There will be opportunity for individual case work, group work and audit and research under the supervision of a qualified clinical psychologist.

There will be opportunity to receive training in evidence based eating disorder treatments such as Family Based Therapy (FBT) and CBT-E, and CBT-T and join established supervision groups across BSW.


Due to the varied nature of the job, no two days will be the same, so flexibility, problem solving skills and a desire to make a difference are all vital.

The working week will cover clinics in Salisbury, as well as work in the community and close liaison with our acute hospital colleagues.

High quality clinical, managerial, professional and peer supervision and CPD is available in a variety of formats.


This is an exciting time to join Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and become part of the Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire service.


We deliver the i-thrive model across BSW including mental health support teams in schools and in reach services to social care.

Oxford health hosts the Thames Valley Tier 4 Provider Collaborative and Forensic CAMHS. We were the regional pilot site for the national ARFID project.

We are working closely with our BSW CCG, Local Authorities, NHS providers and Third Sector partners to transform services for young people up to 25.


If you relish a challenge, are enthusiastic about improving children and young people's mental health and want to join a friendly and ambitious service which is modernising and expanding at pace, then OHFT have all the right ingredients.

Benefits of working for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust include:

  • Excellent opportunities for career progression

  • NHS Discount across a wide range of shops, restaurants and retailers
  • Staff accommodation

  • Lease car scheme
  • Cycle to work scheme


The main role of this exciting new post will be to support the multidisciplinary team in the development, delivery and evaluation of community treatment for children and young people as part of The Eating Disorder Service (TEDS) based in Salisbury.

This will involve opportunities to hold your own caseload of patients to support the delivery of psychological interventions for eating disorders under the supervision of a qualified clinical psychologist.

These interventions are mostly CBT-based but also include opportunities to train and use Family Based Treatment (FBT) skills within sessions.

You will support service users on both a 1:1 and group basis.


Other key roles and responsibilities will include co-facilitating assessments for the service and supporting in formulations, development of service literature and working with service users, carers and clinicians to collect high quality service audit data and to support the development of audit and/or research projects relating to the role.

As the service works closely with the adult Wiltshire Eating Disorder Service & Cotswold House Specialist Eating Disorder unit, there may be an opportunity to work some sessions with this service on a reciprocal basis with the assistant psychologist there.
