registered nurse Beverley, England
Job description
We are looking for 2 highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals who can work alongside colleagues, build a rapport with young people and families and support delivery of planned interventions.
This is an exciting addition to the existing multi-disciplinary community CAMHS Eating Disorders Team. The EDIT Team will be embedded within and work closely alongside the existing team and the successful candidates will have the chance to be a part of the development of this innovative specialist service.
The team will provide a package of enhanced mealtime support and intensive work with young people and families, usually within their own home, to prevent or reduce hospital admissions.
Alternatively, if a full admission is deemed clinically necessary, home leave and discharge may be facilitated sooner by the involvement of the EDIT Team.
The 2 successful candidates will have experience of working with young people, and their families; and while experience in eating disorders would be an advantage, training and development opportunities will be provided for the right applicant.
The service will be provided 8am to 8pm, seven days a week therefore the successful post holders will be required to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends.
The service covers the large geographical area of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire so the ability to commute within this area is essential.
The main elements of the clinical work will include supporting young people and families during mealtimes in a variety of settings, but mainly in the family home, using an evidence-based model and care pathway.
The post holder will have the ability to carry out agreed developed skills and procedures e.g. baseline physical observations, taking blood samples, ECG and medicine management.
