Eating Difficulties Service (TEDS) Senior Counsellor
The Let’s Talk Well Eating Difficulties Service, also known as the TEDS service, is looking for two Senior Counsellors to join our dedicated team which specialises in early intervention for young people aged 9 to 25 who are experiencing emerging eating difficulties or are in recovery.
Recognising the complex and often ambivalent nature of eating difficulties, alongside common co-occurring mental health challenges, TEDS offers longer term support, with interventions lasting up to 25 weeks.
Using a person-centred and proactive approach, our experienced clinicians work within the community to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing. We aim to provide timely, compassionate care that addresses both the emotional and behavioural aspects of eating difficulties.
At Let’s Talk Well, we reach hundreds of children and young people every year as well as offering support and advice to parents/carers and training for professionals. We work to ensure that every young person has easy, prompt, independent access to appropriate support according to their needs.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
In return you will enjoy the support of an organisation committed to those we support, our staff and supporters. We will invest in you, your passion and purpose because we want to motivate you, and everyone who works with us, to make a difference to the lives of young people and their families, and the county in which we operate.
You will be a considered individual, who cares about people, and making a difference where it matters most. This role requires an individual who is driven to support Let’s Talk Well to achieve its ambitions at pace, today and in the future.
