Substance Misuse Advisor

2 months ago


Wakefield, United Kingdom Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two individuals to join the trust's substance misuse team on a two year fixed term contract.

The government has developed a 10 year plan From Harm to Hope to reduce drug harm and dependency. As part of this programme Wakefield council and the Mid Yorkshire Hospital Trust are working together to support patients experiencing issues with drugs.

MYTT are therefore recruiting Substance Misuse Advisors to support patients in secondary care, and help provide on-going support for people to stop or reduce their substance misuse use in the hospital as an inpatient and following discharge. The service will also link with other community substance misuse services.

It recognises that drug dependency is a chronic, relapsing clinical condition that can lead to premature death. Substance misuse is seen as a medical condition that can be treated, rather than as a lifestyle choice.

The service is the first step in developing a longer-term commitment to supporting people with substance addictions in the local area.

For an informal conversation about the role please contact Steph Goodall, Assistant Patient Service Manager on 01924 541220
