Job Summary

Join a highly skilled and compassionate Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) team where collaboration, connection, and meaningful impact are at the heart of the work. The North Fraser Eating Disorder Team is a well-established regional multidisciplinary team supporting children and youth (ages 4–18) and their caregivers through complex eating disorder recovery. Our team of experienced clinicians, physicians, and pediatricians works closely with community and hospital-based partners, as well as generalist CYMH clinicians, to provide comprehensive, family‑centred care. We value strong clinical practice, continuous learning, and supporting one another while also making space for humour and connection. Together, we are dedicated to creating life‑changing outcomes for young people and families.

The Role

As an Eating Disorder Clinician, you will provide assessment, education, and treatment for youth experiencing Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Avoidant Restrictive Feeding Intake Disorder, with a strong focus on caregiver involvement and strengthening family systems. You will work collaboratively within a regional specialized team and alongside general CYMH clinicians, with access to consultation, shared expertise, and ongoing professional growth. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your clinical skills while making a lasting, meaningful difference in the lives of children, youth, and families navigating eating disorder recovery and building resilience.
