6 months ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom NHS Scotland Full time

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

The Safer Drug Consumption Facility (SDCF) in Glasgow offers a unique harm reduction approach in Scotland in response to the increased mortality and morbidity associated with injecting drug use as recommended by “Taking Away the Chaos” (NHS GG&C 2016).

The Glasgow SDCF will provide hygienic environments where illicit drugs (purchased off the premises) can be consumed under clinical supervision with the onsite availability of sterile injecting equipment, advice on injecting technique, overdose assistance, on-site health & social service. As well as responding to medical problems and emergencies that arise from injecting drug use, we will provide a range of other health and psychosocial interventions, as well as linking with services in the third sector

It is anticipated that benefits will include engagement with people who use drugs in vicinity, reduce drug-related health harms, reduce infectious disease transmission, increase access to treatment, care, and support services, reduce stigma and supporting vulnerable people to engage with appropriate services.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a unique new service, the first of its kind in Scotland, and indeed the UK. The Safer Drug Consumption Facility will provide a welcoming, clean, and compassionate service to people who are injecting drugs. The service will run over 7 days, between 9am and 9am, 365 days per year. We will have a multi-disciplinary team to provide support as required to those using the facility. We will provide a range of health and psychosocial interventions, as well as linking with services in the third sector. This Facility will be person centred and care will be determined by people’s immediate needs. As a management post, the post holder will play a key role in setting a positive, trauma informed culture and providing day to day management for health and social care staff.
