Job Title: Hospital Liaison Substance Misuse Nurse

Join our team at Change Grow Live as a Hospital Liaison Substance Misuse Nurse and play a vital role in shaping our vision for providing clinical services to individuals affected by drugs and alcohol.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic and passionate nurse to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, offering specialist clinical interventions to people who use our services. As a Hospital Liaison Substance Misuse Nurse, you will be an integral member of our team, working closely with hospital-based specialist teams to create effective communication and referral pathways.

Key Responsibilities
  • Establish and maintain effective communication and referral pathways with hospital-based specialist teams, acting as a point of contact for acute referrals.
  • Participate with acute services to develop and maintain a process for targeting repeat attendees, implementing an investigation system to critically evaluate the circumstances surrounding an individual's hospital admission.
  • Provide support to acute hospital services to avoid unnecessary admissions to hospital for individuals who can be supported and treated at community addiction services.
  • Develop specific links with identified specialist acute services and provide in-reach to hospital wards, including Gastroenterology/Hepatology, Orthopaedic-falls prevention services, specialist clinics (Hypertensive Disease), observation ward, and A&E.
  • Provide advanced assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care to a small, complex, specialist caseload of patients who misuse alcohol and/or drugs, while they remain in a hospital setting or as part of the discharge to community plan.
  • Provide expert advice and guidance to clinical staff on the appropriate management of those identified as misusing alcohol and/or drugs to prevent further complications from their conditions in the short and long term.
What We Offer
  • We hold regular national nurse and HCA forums, and you will have regular 1:1s and appraisals.
  • We actively support our nurses with revalidation, with protected continuing professional development time, which totals up to 6 days per year.
  • We offer a wide range of educational opportunities, including free access to the RCNi learning platform, and we pay for your NMC fee.
  • We use the government-backed Apprenticeship Levy fund to develop nursing practice in line with your specific role.
  • All our team members are encouraged to take a wellbeing hour every week and access personal wellbeing resources.
  • Our nursing pay is competitive with the NHS Agenda for Change pay bands.

Please ensure that when completing your application form and supporting statement, you reflect on the details outlined in the job description to help us understand how your skills and experiences align with the requirements of the role.
