Job Overview
We are looking to recruit a dietitian to join our Multidisciplinary Team treating people with Eating Disorders. This post is partly newly created, as a part of the Community Mental Health Transformation in Eating Disorders. We are commissioned to provide an outpatient service for adults with moderate and severe Eating Disorders. We are one of several community-based Eating Disorder Services that are provided by CWP.
You will be working alongside a multidisciplinary team including Eating Disorder Practitioners, Cognitive Behavioural Therapists, Cognitive Analytic Therapists, Clinical Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists, and Team Administrators.
Main Duties of the Job
We are looking for someone to join our supportive and enthusiastic team to provide dietetic assessments and interventions for individuals alongside other members of the MDT. You will attend the weekly MDT and will have access to supervision that is currently hosted every 6 weeks with other CWP dietitians from the other CWP EDS services as well as management supervision within the team. Internal and external training opportunities are available to ensure you are supported in meeting your annual requirements to maintain your registration. We are also planning an induction period into the role with weekly check-ins and support to aid transition into the new role. We currently offer a Monday - Friday service and our usual hours are 9-5, although we offer earlier and later appointments to accommodate our service users. We are able to offer considerable flexibility in how the successful applicant works these hours. We are looking for someone who is dynamic and innovative, who is willing to work as part of a team, sharing their expertise with the team and has the ability to establish good therapeutic rapport with our service users that is the essential foundation for offering evidence-based treatments.
