Littlehampton, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job overview Are you looking for an exciting challenge that is hugely rewarding? Do you want to help shape the future of the Sussex Eating Disorder Service (SEDS)? We're looking for like-minded people to join us and help provide top quality care to those who need it. SEDS is going through an exciting programme of expansion. An opportunity has arisen for Band 6 Eating Disorder Practitioners to join the SEDS Service. Alternatively, we would also be delighted to offer Band 5 developmental posts to support career development for those recently or who are about to qualify and the job description would be tailored accordingly. We are a passionate multidisciplinary team delivering NICE recommended treatments and aiming to provide the best possible care to adults living with eating disorders. Previous experience of working in an eating disorder service is desirable but not necessary, as we offer considerable in-house and external training opportunities. The post will be supervised by a senior member of the team. There will be extensive opportunities for being involved in research/service development and nurturing special interests. Covering the whole of Sussex, SEDS provides specialist eating disorder services across a large geographical area. With the introduction of remote working, there is scope, where possible, to tailor your working pattern/location to the needs of both the service and you. Currently we are keen to recruit from the Brighton area.
