A Vacancy at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.
This is a new post which has been created as part of a successful bid to expand community eating disorders for children and young people.
The post holder will provide senior clinical leadership and psychiatric expertise within a specialist multidisciplinary team delivering evidence-based care for young people with eating disorders. The service combines intensive day hospital treatment and home-based interventions, offering a flexible and family-centred approach to prevent or shorten inpatient admissions and support sustainable recovery. In addition, as it is a new service, the post holder will have the opportunity to provide medical leadership in its development.
Specific responsibilities may include:
• Provide specialist psychiatric assessment and management for young people with eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
• Lead on formulation, care planning, and review within a multidisciplinary team including psychologists, nurses, dietitians, family therapists, occupational therapists, and social workers.
• Offer psychiatric input for both Day Hospital (maximum 6 patients) and the Intensive Support at Home Team (up to 5 patients) components of the service. While this is a new service, it is anticipated that there will be one new patient for each service weekly, although the day patients will likely already open to the home support team. Therefore, it is expected that the post holder will see one new patient per week for psychiatric assessment and 10 follow up reviews per week.
• Oversee pharmacological treatments, physical health monitoring, and mental state management.
• Participate in family-based interventions, working collaboratively with carers to promote recovery and resilience.
• Support early identification of risk and contribute to crisis management plans.
• Liaise effectively with community CAMHS, paediatric, education, and social care services to ensure continuity of care.
• Contribute to admission avoidance and step-down care from inpatient units.
At Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT), we deliver a wide range of physical, mental health, learning disability and autism services, and are proud to serve communities across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.
We put ‘people at our heart’; this ethos is at the centre of everything we do and how we do it. We care for our staff and colleagues as much as they care for others and offer a wide range of benefits and development opportunities.
• generous annual leave entitlement which increases during your time with us
• excellent learning and development opportunities, including apprenticeship frameworks, distance learning, internal training, coaching and mentoring, and much more
• salary sacrifice schemes for lease car/ vehicle, Cycle to Work, home and electronics, gym membership and more
• discounts with a range of retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues through our Employee Assistance Programme and NHS discount schemes
• wellbeing support, including an in-house counselling service, external helpline and more
• staff networks and support group
We’re always on the lookout for people who share our passion for improving the lives and wellbeing of people in our community, as well as our values of compassion, collaboration, excellence, integrity and respect.
