About the Role

You’ll work shoulder to shoulder with psychologists and clinicians to support those affected by eating disorders. Your days will involve a blend of direct work with clients and clinical support work behind the scenes. That means one moment you’re helping deliver low-intensity psychological support, and the next you’re reviewing audit data or prepping for assessments.

You’ll be guided by qualified Clinical Psychologists but trusted to handle responsibilities on your own. The real impact? You’ll be helping people regain control over their lives, one small step at a time. If you’ve got a passion for psychology and a heart for helping, this is a real-world stepping stone that makes a real difference.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver guided psychological interventions to individuals with eating disorders
• Conduct assessments to support treatment planning and recovery
• Collaborate with the wider multidisciplinary team for joined-up care
• Manage clinical admin, audit participation, and outcome measurement
• Support service development projects that improve patient experience
• Attend training and use clinical supervision to keep growing in the role
