At Eating Distress North East we know the importance of holding a safe space where people can feel heard and know that recovery from disordered eating is always possible.
We’re looking for someone with excellent group facilitation skills; understanding and knowledge of mental health issues and how they impact on individual and families; and a commitment to holding hope and the knowledge that recovery is possible for people affected by eating distress and disorders.
You will set up and run our group work offer to people and their families, working with our Counselling Lead to ensure our group service is responsive to need.
About us
We’re going through a period of change at EDNE, with a premises move on the cards and a new leadership team and strategy in place. Last year we supported over 450 people in our service and we want to do more to meet rising need.
87% of people said they have better ability and skills to cope with eating distress and life generally after using our services. If you want to improve the lives of people affected by ED this might be the place for you.
We offer 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays (full time equivalent), a training budget plus ongoing training on eating distress specifically, and clinical supervision. And the opportunity to work in a small but dynamic charity with experienced, knowledgeable and supportive colleagues.
We’d welcome an informal chat with anyone interested in the role, please get in touch with Rachel Cowey, EDNE Counselling Lead, Rachel.Cowey@edne.org.uk to arrange this.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and communities, and in particular those that are currently under represented in our workforce.
Deadline for applications: 5pm on Thursday 13th July
