Embedded Caseworker (Oxfordshire Adult Community Eating Disorder Service)

We are looking for an embedded caseworker to bring the Elmore approach to the Oxfordshire Adult Community Eating Disorder Service (OACEDS). The caseworker will have the skills to empower individuals experiencing an eating disorder, by providing practical support to address key issues individuals are facing, allowing them to focus on their recovery without other worries. The post holder will work with individuals to identify their strengths and build on them, learn about the positive changes that they want to make, and support them to create lasting change.  This could include working with individuals around benefits/finances, housing, substance misuse, training/education, physical health, advocacy, or a range of other issues.  

We are looking for candidates who have experience of empowering individuals to make positive changes to their lives and supporting clients with complex needs in a relevant field (preferably eating disorders).  Successful candidates will need to be compassionate, non-judgemental, skilled in active listening, and experienced in risk management and safety planning, as well as being a skilled communicator able to develop partnership relationships in a multi-disciplinary team.   

Please apply by visiting our website (www.elmorecommunityservices.org.uk) for more information or sending an up-to-date CV and cover letter. Please address the specific points of the person specification within your application and use examples to say why you meet each criteria.  Please also complete the equal opportunities form. This is optional but is very helpful, as it enables us to ensure our recruitment process is fair and is not inadvertently discriminating against any particular groups.  The form will not be shared with the selection panel or used during the recruitment process.  

We look forward to hearing from you.
