Dorset All Age Eating Disorders Service (DAEDS) - 10-bed inpatient unit

We are looking to recruit compassionate Registered Mental Health Nurses (RMHN's) to work as part of a multidisciplinary team, delivering treatment and care to adults with eating disorders.

You will be NMC registered or soon to qualify. Experience of caring for people with eating disorders in a mental health setting is desirable, empathy towards those who have an eating disorder essential.

You will support the Service and Ward Manager to deliver the best available evidence based treatment, including nasogastric tube feeding.

You will work predominantly on the inpatient unit but may be required to support across the day service too. You will at times be the nurse in charge of the shift. The ability to remain calm under pressure, prioritising, delegating and escalating as required, in line with policy will be a strength or an area you are committed to develop.

The inpatient unit is open 24/7, 365 days of the year and employs a shift system that supports delivery of treatment and care 24 hours a day.

We are committed to supporting and facilitating development via training opportunities, an annual appraisal and clinical supervision. Preceptorship will be offered for those newly qualified.
