All clinicians in the team are trained to deliver some or all of these interventions.As part of this role, you are expected to deliver FBT or FT-AN, which training will be provided for.
We offersystemic therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for those who an individual therapy approach is more appropriate. In addition, we also offer a parent group to support those caring for a young person with an eating disorder. We link with CNWL CAMHS for joint work (for co-morbidities) and other agencies as necessary.
The team consists of nursing, occupational therapists, psychologist, assistant psychologists, systemic Family therapist, a dietician, paediatrician and psychiatry. We are expanding into the use of systemic practitioners and developing nurses to the Advanced Clinical Practitioner level.

We know staff have lives outside of work, and want to promote balance, therefore we take flexible working seriously. You will be given your own remote working system via laptops to support this.
