The service provides specialist assessment and community treatment for individuals and their families who are experiencing an eating disorder covering a large geographical area of Sunderland, South Tyneside, Gateshead, Newcastle, Northumberland, and North Tyneside.

The expectation is that the post holder will need to drive across to various satellite bases.

This is a full-time, band 6 post. You will be a First Level Registered Nurse - RMN / RNMH / RNLD Qualification and have a minimum of 24 months' post-qualification experience, preferably within the field of Eating Disorders.

Working with this client group, you will be adaptable and work well under pressure with strong decision-making skills and a positive attitude and approach. The candidate will hold excellent communication skills and demonstrate an understanding of the complexities involved in this specialist area of mental health.

The successful candidate will be joining a skilled integrated multi-disciplinary team working with children, young people, and families.

The service is supportive to its staff, offering learning and training opportunities, clinical supervision, and a supportive, collaborative team culture.

The post holder will be required to travel across the site as needed.

We are delighted you are considering coming to work with us at Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW). This post is currently based within our South of Tyne team based at Monkwearmouth Hospital. However, this team is merging with our North of Tyne team and will be based at Benton House with the vision of this taking place this year. This is to strengthen our patient offer and also to strengthen our workforce provision.

We know the power of looking into an organization, one you might want to work in, or one where you are going to get help, and being able to say, 'I've seen somewhere I can fit in and be myself.' We're on a journey to make the Trust an inclusive employer, representative of the community we serve and we want more of our community to consider applying for jobs with us.
