Lincoln, United Kingdom Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are seeking skilled and motivated Assistant Practitioners to join a well-established and rapidly expanding Service in Lincolnshire as part of the Community Mental Health Transformation plan, including the development of an enhanced Community Support Service.

The Eating Disorders Service provides specialist treatments for adults with a diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and/or Atypical Eating Disorders. The service treats patients on an outpatient basis across the county of Lincolnshire.

The MDT team approach to the assessment and treatment of individuals is a real strength providing the latest in evidence based NICE psychological interventions to adults with an eating disorder.

The postholder will work within a well-established team. However, you will be required to deliver an autonomous service as part of your role, within professional guidelines and the overall Trust policies and procedures to:

- Provide a range of structured therapeutic interventions in a group or on a one-to-one basis.
- Provide support in a variety of community settings and at mealtimes, as part of a planned programme of care.
- Work flexibly across the county to support service need.
- Providing face to face clinical interventions and attending meetings dependent on service need and demand.

The Trust is also open to remote and flexible working possibilities as part of this role, dependant on business/service needs.

Under the supervision of a registered professional, support the provision of a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary Adult Eating Disorder Service. To provide delegated assessments within defined time standards, deliver planned activities and interventions, including providing support to meal times in a patient’s home, community settings and group environments.

The postholder will comply with appropriate legislation and LPFT policies, facilitate feedback from patients and families/carers, work collaboratively with patients, families, colleagues and stakeholders to support the patient and their family/carer.

Record accurate and appropriate information within the service user’s clinical notes using the Trust’s clinical information systems, actively contribute to meeting productivity targets and comply with CQC standards.

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services and a number of learning disability, autism and social care services in the county of Lincolnshire. Employing around 2,800 staff, and serving a population of over 766,000, our people lie at the heart of everything we do.

You could be part of a Trust rated by staff as one of the best mental health and learning disability trusts in England, in an area heralded as a fantastic place to live and work. We firmly believe the key to high quality care is a contented workforce. This is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of ‘outstanding’ for well-led and ‘good’ overall. In the most recent National NHS Staff Survey, our staff rated us as the number one trust nationally for staff morale and one of the top scoring NHS Trusts in the Midlands for being compassionate and inclusive. We’re really proud of this

We are also leading the way in transforming care, with multi-million-pound transformation of patient environments and radical redesign of community services.

This is the time to join and help redesign our services of the future. We offer options for flexible working and provide a wide range of training and promotion opportunities in all professions. We support and celebrate diversity, have active staff networks groups and are always looking at what more we can do to support our staff.
- Provide a range of structured therapeutic interventions and clinical monitoring in accordance with National guidelines and best practice within the wider community, working in group or on a one to one basis.
