The role will specifically focus on:
Younger adults (18-25) particularly those transitioning between childrens and adult services.
Younger adults with a diagnosis of an eating disorder or suspected eating disorder that interferes with their daily functioning and require ongoing support for a specific focused treatment when transitioning from CYPS ED which would be appropriate for AEDimhs at the time of transitioning.
Working with youngers adults who present with a diagnosable eating disorder across the spectrum of severity.
Working to support younger adults and their carers where there is increased complexity within the presentation.
Developing Support structures for Carers with the transition from childrens to adults eating disorder services.
