Bournemouth, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Dorset All Age Community Eating disorders service has an exciting opportunity for a Specialist Practitioner in Eating Disorders. You will have the option of being based at Trinity Court in Dorchester or our new base Spring Court on the Kings Park Hospital site.

Experience of delivering NICE concordant eating disorders treatment is advantageous, however we also invite your expression of interest if you have transferable skills gained from working in other areas of mental health (adults and/or children) and would embrace the opportunity to develop the eating disorder specific competencies required. We will support and facilitate your development, tailored to your learning needs and experience.

The team will provide evidence-based interventions to people with
an ED, their families/carers.

The principal role is in partnership with people with an ED, families
and carers to assess, plan and implement evidence-based
interventions and care to promote recovery from eating disorders.
The post holder will hold their own caseload and work closely with
all other members of the multi-disciplinary team.

A key secondary role is in liaison and joint working with other
professionals, including general practice, CAMHS, adult mental
health, LEA/schools and universities, to support integrated treatment
and to widen awareness of the complexities involved in the
management and treatment of Eating Disorders.

The post is offered as a 20-month secondment or fixed term contract. Full or Part-time (Monday to Friday 09:00 - 17:00). There is also an option of a permanent contract, with 20 months in the eating disorder service, followed by redeployment within the Trust should the demand for eating disorder services reduce

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.
