Job summary

We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Band 7 Senior Nurse to join our CAMHS Eating Disorder Service in Hampshire. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a developing service, where innovation, quality and compassionate care are at the heart of everything we do.

We deliver a range of evidence-based interventions and are committed to achieving the best outcomes for young people and their families. Staff benefit from opportunities for professional development, including CPD, specialist training, supervision, consultation and multidisciplinary team working.

We are looking for a nurse who is passionate about clinical leadership, brings a positive and proactive approach, has excellent communication and interpersonal skills. We are committed to creating an environment where staff feel valued, supported and able to thrive while working with this rewarding and complex client group.

The role requires strong skills in assessment, risk management, safeguarding and multi-agency working. It offers a varied balance responsibilities, in person and virtual working, providing opportunities to influence service development and improve outcomes for young people and their families.

Main duties of the job

As one of the senior nurses within the service, you will work in collaboration with other members of the multi-disciplinary team to deliver safe, effective, and care for the West hub and wider service.

The post holder will be required to manage their own case load alongside offering expert clinical advice to colleagues and line management support to nursing colleagues within the west hub.

The role requires a high level of skill in clinical assessment, risk management, safeguarding and liaison with other agencies. This post provides a mix of both clinical and leadership tasks providing a diverse and varied role, both face to face and virtual delivery.

The post holder will be required to take on other identified responsibilities suitable for the banding. Experience in systemic working, crisis interventions and physical assessment will be an advantage.
