Staff Nurse

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a staff nurse to join the Eden Unit.

We are seeking a motivated individual to support the current nursing and wider team in all aspects of this specialised Eating disorders unit.

Experience of patients with eating disorders would be an advantage, but not essential. Full induction shall be given, with the opportunity to take on further training if desired.

The successful candidate will be expected to work rotational shifts across both day and night duty and we would welcome applications from RMN's, and RN’s as well as NGN to join our team.

The Eden Unit is the Regional Inpatient Eating Disorder Service for the North East of Scotland which covers Tayside, Grampian, Highland and Islands as well as patients out of area. The Unit also incorporates a transitional placement in Day Programme aiming to prevent admissions to hospital or to aid earlier discharge for the Grampian area. The Eden Unit has close links with NHS Grampian, Highland and Tayside Outpatient Eating Disorders Service, Gastroenterology Team at ARI, CAMHS and the young person’s Inpatient Service in Dundee.

Although our patient’s primarily have a diagnosis of an eating disorder they can also experience co-morbidities such as ASD, anxiety, depression, OCD, Personality Disorders and diabetes, although this list is not exhaustive.

One of the fundamental treatments within Eden is providing evidence based therapies. Within the ward we are able to offer: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Family Based Therapy, Interpersonal Psychological Therapy, Contemplation work, Art Therapy, Decider Skills, Mentalisation Based Therapy, distress tolerance therapies and cognitive remedial therapy. There will also be the opportunity to undertake the EEATS Accredited course. During the patients admission staff are also given the opportunity to participate in formulation. This gives the patients and the wider MDT the opportunity to revisit and revaluate the patient’s journey and their past while developing a plan on moving forward.

For more information please contact Kerrie Bellingham, Senior Charge Nurse or Deputy Charge Nurses Leah Riley or Jen Sorbie on (01224) 557348 or 557521.
