The post holder will provide a qualified highly specialist systemic family therapy service to clients of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Adult Eating Disorders, across all sectors of care.

This post provides a systemic overview of the family approach to the treatment of complex mental health disorders, specialising in eating disorders. The post-holder will be responsible for co-ordinating, developing and delivering a variety of family and systemic interventions. These interventions are highly specialised, reflecting an expectation that the service will continue to develop innovative practices that are based on collaboration between clinicians, service users and carers, and commissioners of the service.

The post-holder will be expected to offer advice and consultation on clients’ care to all colleagues and to other, non professional carers, working autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the team’s policies and procedures.

The post holder will also be accountable for their own professional actions and will need to interpret broad occupational policies (i.e. commitment to a family approach to treatment, involving service users and carers at all levels of treatment and service development)

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high-quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.

Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services, not only via inpatient and primary care settings, but also within the community. These services include children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.

Please refer to the attached job description and person specification for full details of responsibilities

1. The post holder will undertake specialist assessment and care planned interventions of adults and families referred to the Adult Eating Disorder Service.

- Separated family therapy (i.e. parental counselling and individual systemic counselling running in parallel).
- Multi-family group therapy

3. The post holder is expected to participate in assessments of patients referred for treatment and to consult to multi-disciplinary and multi-agency colleagues regarding the family treatment component of each patient’s care. Assessment of family interactions and formulating how these are connected to diagnostic factors will be a key component of the post, influencing the direction of treatment and recommendations for appropriate family interventions.
4. To communicate, in a highly skilled and sensitive manner to clients, family carers and others as appropriate, information that may be contentious or highly distressing concerning the assessment, formulation and treatment plans of clients under their care.

- and multi-disciplinary care, and to provide appropriate reports on this.
6. To produce reports on clients, in a timely manner, that convey the key findings of systemic assessment and formulation and treatment outcome, in a way that does justice to the complexity of the problems described, but that are understandable to the recipients of the reports, including clients and referrers.
7. To assist in the management of the team caseload.
8. To work in partnership with other disciplines and to maintain links with statutory and non-statutory and primary care agencies as appropriate.
9. To provide appropriate care for clients
