Job Advert Role Description

We are recruiting a qualified Practitioner Psychologist to work across the inpatient Eating Disorder Services. Applicants must be HCPC registered, although final year trainees working towards registration will be considered and salary offer will be adjusted.

 

Priory is the UK's largest independent provider of Eating Disorder Services. The Eating Disorder services at Cheadle Royal use the Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA) as the main therapeutic approach and framework; however practitioners across the service also employ other interventions as appropriate to meet the needs of the client group including CBT-E, Cognitive-Analytic Therapy, EMDR and Schema Therapy.

 

The successful applicant will work with a multi-disciplinary therapies team, including Psychologists, Therapists, Family Therapy and Assistant Psychologists, which is embedded within a wider multi-disciplinary team of clinical professionals. The care and treatment provided addresses both the physical consequences of the eating disorder, as well as the related underlying psychological and social factors. The basic aim of treatment is to help to restore a healthier eating pattern whilst providing psychological support to help with the feelings that emerge during this process.

 

The role will involve psychological assessment, formulation, delivering both group and individual therapies, providing a psychological perspective to decision making around patient care, attendance at ward rounds and CPA review meetings, and working closely with and providing support to ward teams to foster a holistic approach to care. There will also be opportunities to provide some supervision to assistant psychologists within the service.  

 

Suitable candidates will have a strong interest in working with clients with eating disorders, and some direct experience with this client group or within inpatient services is desirable. Suitable candidates will enjoy working as part of a multi-disciplinary team. 

 

There are excellent CPD and training opportunities for employees within this service, and funded and accredited training opportunities will be available and agreed as part of the role (subject the completion of a probationary period). The psychology department also has strong research links with local Universities, and provides placements for trainees from a number of different courses on both core and specialist placements.
