Job description

An exciting career opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic assistant psychologist to join the specialist community Eating Disorder Team and get involved in exciting new service developments.

We are looking for someone who is passionate and motivated to work with eating disorder patients.

You will be working alongside the multi-disciplinary team in the delivery of both individual and group interventions. We are looking for someone who can work autonomously and independently and has a good foundation in working clinically with patients. The role is focused on delivering guided self-help for eating disorders and support patients who are accessing computerised CBT.

Support and supervision will be provided by the Consultant Clinical Psychologist and wider team. There are also opportunities for additional supervision and training. Through this support there is the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in eating disorder.

This post may also at times require some liaison with the teams in South Glos, North Somerset, BANES and Bristol, so may require traveling to different bases.

At AWP we actively encourage applicants from all backgrounds; we are particularly keen to encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities and from the LGBTQ+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge to AWP, as diversity makes us stronger.
