About The Role

ADD TO LIFE. EVERY LIFE

Treat more than just symptoms and develop more than just your clinical skills

An exciting role, supporting the Substance Misuse Team. It’s an opportunity for a passionate nurse to  learn new skills  within the Substance Misuse field or indeed develop existing experience. You'll also have a RCGP 1 in Substance Misuse or willingness to undertake this to support you in your development.

Secure environments are one of the most challenging, yet rewarding places for healthcare professionals to work. If you’re looking for a role where you can develop your existing nursing skills and learn something new every day in an environment that never stands still, then this could be the opportunity for you.
 
As a Substance Misuse Nurse you will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, prioritising patient care to develop individualised packages of care through comprehensive assessment and recovery planning. You will deliver a range of treatment options including clinical and psychosocial interventions in both a group and 1-1 setting with recovery at the centre of our healthcare wellbeing model. You must be able to carry out comprehensive assessments, initiate and review individual recovery plans and confidently communicate the full range of treatment options available to service users. You will monitor therapeutic responses to medication and potential side effects and liaise with prescribers.
