At least 2.5 SPAs as standard for a full time post (we would be flexible in looking at enhancements to support other activities that support the wider ambitions of the Trust).

Our Eating Disorder Service is an all-age service but this post is specifically aligned to supporting adult patients. The service is split into five localities across the Trust with work bases in Ormskirk, Nelson, Preston, Blackpool and Lancaster. There would be flexibility for the postholder to discuss the main work base most appropriate for them, although they would be expected to visit the other work bases when there was a clinical need to do so.

The role would include direct interventions to patients, including the psychiatric and medical assessments of patients, and formulation of complex cases with medical and psychiatric needs. You would take a leading role in the monitoring and treatment of physical conditions of eating disorders, in collaboration with other healthcare professionals (dieticians, physicians, paediatricians, general practitioners etc).

Applicants should hold full GMC registration and be included on the Specialist register of the GMC or they should be eligible for entry to the Specialist Register within 6 months of the interview date.

This post is eligible for a 5% payment of basic salary payable over 2 years
