Adolescent Intensive Treatment Program Coordinator  

 
Join our team at Esus Centre, Australia’s first integrated eating disorder day hospital, as the Coordinator for our Adolescent Intensive Treatment Program.  
 
Our model incorporates a seamless transition of care across the service, from daily Intensive Treatment Programs (ITP) operating as a substitution for inpatient admissions, to low-intensity group programs for skills development and targeting comorbid issues that act as treatment barriers, as well as coordinated and collaborative individual and family out-patient treatment with psychiatrists, psychologists, dietitians, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists.  The Centre includes on-site GP-led medical monitoring and stabilisation. 
  
If you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of adolescents struggling with eating disorders and have experience in coordinating treatment programs, we invite you to apply for this rewarding position at Esus Centre.
