Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust provides child and adult mental health services, learning disability, wellbeing, older people's and eating disorder services across Norfolk and Suffolk.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and want to reflect the diversity of our local communities within our teams. We welcome applications from all talented individuals with the relevant qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience
This substantive role involves working in a small, friendly multi-disciplinary team to provide psychological interventions, assessment and consultation for young people with ARFID and their families. You will be based in Stowmarket but there may be a requirement to travel independently across Suffolk on occasion. There are opportunities to link up with other psychological therapists across the wider eating disorders service.
We will provide regular clinical supervision, and relevant specialist training and opportunities for professional development.
We are looking to appoint a skilled, committed, and motivated individual with excellent communication and organisational skills and a keen interest in working with families, young people and professional network. Previous experience working with individuals with eating disorders is ideal but not essential. We can accommodate some flexible working, in line with the service need and we are a Family Friendly and supportive team.
The role will include, but not be limited to: assessment, formulation, consultation and psychological treatment of individuals with ARFID and co-morbid mental health difficulties, clinical responsibility for complex cases, supporting the Principal Clinical Psychologist with service development projects, providing clinical supervision, and providing consultation to colleagues and to external agencies.
If you are interested in joining this exciting and motivated team, please look at the detailed Job Description for more information about this post.
We will consider applications from experienced clinical psychologists and newly qualified psychologists (on a Band 7 basis).
