We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic, motivated, and caring mental health nurse to join our nationally recognised and expanding Community Child & Adolescent Eating Disorder Service in Salisbury.
With a big national focus on improving services for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, there has never been a better time to join Oxford Health CAMHS in Salisbury and make a positive difference to children and young people’s life chances.
Our well-established service aims to deliver high standards of care to young people and their families, with an emphasis on continuous improvement and participation. You would ensure we are delivering outstanding services to the children and young people in the Salisbury catchment area, and you would be part of a supportive multidisciplinary team who offer assessment, treatment, and consultation either in the clinic base or out in the community.
The service is based in Salisbury and works with children and young people up to 18 years old who experience eating disorders.
If you are a motivated nurse with a passion and interest for working with young people experiencing an eating disorder, this is the role for you.
In this role you will provide specialist assessment, treatment and care review to patients and their families/carers who are open to the Salisbury CAMHS Eating Disorder Service. You will also take responsibility for managing urgent clinical calls, including risk, on a rotational basis.
You will have access to supervision and training from leading clinicians in the field. You will be offered in house training in a number of evidence-based interventions.
There will also be the opportunity for further training based on individual learning needs. We have good professional support in our service and regular professional regional meetings, including regular team safeguarding supervision.
