About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and dedicated nurse to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, offering specialist clinical interventions to individuals who use our services. As a Hospital Liaison Substance Misuse Nurse, you will be responsible for providing advanced assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care to a small, complex caseload of patients who misuse alcohol and/or drugs.

Key Responsibilities
  • Establish effective communication and referral pathways with hospital-based specialist teams, acting as a point of contact for acute referrals.

  • Provide expert advice and guidance to clinical staff on the appropriate management of those identified as misusing alcohol and/or drugs in order to prevent further complications from their conditions both in the short term and the long term.
What We Offer

We are committed to supporting our nurses in their professional development and offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Regular national nurse and HCA forums, with regular 1:1s and appraisals.
  • Protected continuing professional development time, totaling up to 6 days per year.
  • Free access to the RCNi learning platform and payment of NMC fees.
  • The opportunity to use the government-backed Apprenticeship Levy fund to develop nursing practice in line with your specific role.
  • A wellbeing hour every week and access to personal wellbeing resources.
  • Competitive nursing pay, in line with the NHS Agenda for Change pay bands.
