We are seeking a dynamic Registered Nurse/Registered Mental Health Nurse to join our Trust-wide Adult Eating Disorders Service (AEDS). This is a substantive post which will primarily be based within our Enhanced Treatment Team (ETT) at Farnham Road Hospital, Guildford, but with the additional flexibility required to sometimes work from our Epsom site and other hub sites. The postholder will additionally be expected to complete home visits.

The post holder will be joining well-established outpatient and day care facilities for working age adults with moderate to severe eating disorders. The development of the ETT is an exciting new multi-disciplinary initiative. This new intensive treatment pathway aims to reduce hospital admissions and to provide an alternative to day care for initial stabilisation purposes when needed.

Main duties of the job The post holder will initially be expected to develop their skills in working with people with more severe eating disorders through shadowing and then contributing to the delivery of the day care programme under supervision. Over time the application of these skills will then be generalised to their delivery within the ETT. The range of duties will include care co-ordination, physical monitoring, conducting audit and meal supervision.

The successful applicant will require an NMC registration and in addition, have an interest and experience in the field of eating disorders. Good communication skills and excellent IT skills are essential. The ability to drive a car and access to a car during working hours is also essential due to the requirement to sometimes travel between the AEDS sites (in Guildford and Epsom), to complete home visits and to occasionally also travel to other Trust hub sites.
