Job overview:

We are excited to go out to advert for two eating disorder practitioner posts, which overlap working within the FT-AN/BN therapy portion of the children and young people's eating disorders team in Cornwall (with supervision, support and training), and the new branch of our service, delivering intensive support to families and young people within their homes to avoid hospital admissions.

The post holder will be responsible for providing meal support in the young person's home environment, along with implementation of distress tolerance and emotional regulation interventions.
