A Vacancy at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust.


This is an exciting opportunity to join an established team in a leading child and adolescent eating disorder service.

The inpatient adolescent Wisteria ward of the St George’s Eating Disorder Service provides a national service for children and adolescents with eating disorders requiring inpatient treatment. The service accepts CYP between the ages of 11y and 18y with a primary diagnosis of an eating disorder who cannot currently be adequately treated in the community.

The service has recently been redeveloped, and the New Wisteria Model focusses on brief admissions integrated with CYP community eating disorders treatment.

The SWLSTG Community (CYP Community Eating Disorders Service) and Inpatient (Wisteria Ward Inpatient C&A Eating Disorders Service) services work together to deliver an integrated CAMHS eating disorder service for children and young people with eating disorders from the 5 Boroughs, and are uniquely placed to develop innovative projects for CYP ED treatment. Together with partner services in the South London Partnership, one of the most comprehensive, innovative, and effective CAMHS eating disorders care pathways in the country has been established and continues to be developed, including comprehensive outpatient, inpatient, and intensive community treatment programmes including day patient and home treatment services, integrated with comprehensive paediatric and child & adolescent mental health services in South London.

The aim of the New Wisteria Model is to improve overall outcomes by making inpatient admissions brief, and importantly having these integrated with the overall model of work within the whole pathway of care, most of which will happen in the community, leading to the best chance of recovery from the eating disorder in the shortest overall time. As part of the aims of the SLP, the service is focused on admissions being close to home and for the shortest period of time. Therapeutically, the model will be integrative and evidence-based, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches.

The service has close links the adult eating disorder inpatient service (Avalon Ward national specialist inpatient ED service) and the adult community service, which have recently been brought together under the same service line.

This is a maternity locum cover for the incumbent substantive consultant, with a start date in April 2024, and an anticipated duration of nine months.

We welcome applications from both experienced consultants and senior trainees completing their training. Prior experience of working in eating disorders and inpatient services would be desirable, but not essential, and the successful candidate can be provided support and mentoring in eating disorder and inpatient treatment, to fulfil the role. This might be suitable for a candidate with interest to further their career or make a switch to eating disorder or inpatient services.

We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.

We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.

We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.

We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.

We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
