  • CYP Community ED Team works with young people up to 17 who have suspected or diagnosed eating disorders. The team offers intensive assessment and treatment for children with complex emotional, sensory, behavioral, and psychological difficulties, providing intensive work with families/parents/carers to enhance their parenting skills.
  • Our experienced and dedicated multidisciplinary team is committed to providing the highest standards of care to help children and families rebuild their self-confidence. We take a solution-focused approach to address challenges and guide towards optimism, unveiling potential, and a positive future for the child and their family network.

Job Description

  • Specific to assessment, the Occupational Therapist (OT) will utilize professional, evidence-based assessment tools to establish a child's/young person's baseline functional and performance capacity. Recommendations based on these assessments will guide ongoing care and treatment to facilitate optimal functioning, social integration, and educational participation.
  • Establish connections with other Occupational Therapists and Child and Family workers in inpatient and community CAMHS eating disorder teams to ensure seamless continuation of Occupational Therapy input if needed.
  • Support transitions for the young individual to adult services or work with the individual as part of an ageless service as it evolves within our service.
  • Manage a designated caseload of children and young people with complex mental health needs, applying evidence-based and recovery principles to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate treatment.
  • Integrate evidence-based practice and adept use of assessments & interventions with personal recovery principles to enhance the child/young person's quality of life and assist them in pursuing their desired activities and leading the life they aspire to.
  • Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the impact of mental illness and physical conditions, offering guidance and advice on lifestyle modifications and adjustments to the child/young person's social and physical environment. This includes conducting assessments and making recommendations regarding the provision of equipment/aids and adaptations.
