Job overview
An exciting opportunity is here for the SET CAMHS Eating Disorder Service.
We are looking for a senior clinician to support the development and implementation of a range of interventions for the SET CAMHS Eating Disorder Service.
The post holder will work with another Clinical Lead and Team Manager to help support the delivery of psychological support across the service. They will be responsible for assessment, treatment, and outcome measurement and provide clinical supervision to staff as well as development.
This post would suit clinicians with extensive experience in working with young people who present with complexity and significant levels of distress, working with the wider systems including education, social care, and family/carers.
Main duties of the job
We are seeking an individual who has experience in working with children and young people with eating disorders and their families and is passionate about delivering good quality, patient-led care.

The role will involve a mixture of face-to-face working which will need to be offered in response to the demands of the service. This is a developing service which we will continue to evaluate against the needs of the families and young people accessing the service.
The applicant will work alongside colleagues within the MDT to provide NICE concordant psychological interventions to young people and families with eating disorders and comorbid presentations.
