**Job overview**:
The purpose of this post is to work as part of a team that offers short term intensive interventions to young people with eating disorders, with the view of reducing or avoiding a hospital admission. The post will involve meal support in the young person’s home environment, along with implementation of distress tolerance and emotional regulation interventions. You will be working as part of the eating disorders multi-disciplinary team, and regular training and support will be provided.

Interventions primarily take place in the young person’s home environment, community settings, locality team bases and via in-reach to the local district general hospital and inpatient psychiatric wards.

Our team purpose is to prevent hospital admission for young people, and instead provide an at home alternative where young people can continue to engage in their homes and communities whilst receiving appropriate care and treatment for their eating disorder.

You will be working as part of a 7 day per week service, with shifts being 7.30am to 7.30pm.

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. I
