Eating Distress North East are recruiting for a new role of Intake and Assessment Worker to provide compassionate and effective first-line support for individuals seeking help for eating distress.

The post-holder will conduct initial assessment appointments to determine the most appropriate service for people seeking support, identify when external services are more appropriate and facilitate timely referrals, and liaise with GPs, NHS community eating disorder teams, mental health teams, and other voluntary sector services to ensure a joined-up approach.

This is a crucial role for the organisation as you'll be the first person they have contact with and you will have exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly and
assess need according to service criteria.

In return we offer a supportive working environment with access to employee benefits, training budget and regular internal training and development opportunities.
