Key Responsibilities

  • Establish effective communication and referral pathways with hospital-based specialist teams, acting as a point of contact for acute referrals.
  • Participate in acute services to develop and maintain processes for targeting repeat attendees, implementing investigation systems to evaluate circumstances surrounding hospital admissions.

  • Develop specific links with identified specialist acute services, providing in-reach to hospital wards, including Gastroenterology/Hepatology, Orthopaedic-falls prevention services, and specialist clinics.
  • Provide advanced assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care for a small, complex caseload of patients who misuse alcohol and/or drugs, while in a hospital setting or as part of discharge to community plans.
  • Offer expert advice and guidance to clinical staff on managing individuals who misuse alcohol and/or drugs, preventing further complications in the short and long term.

What We Offer

  • We hold regular national nurse and HCA forums, with regular 1:1s and appraisals.
  • We actively support our nurses with revalidation, providing protected continuing professional development time, totaling 6 days per year.
  • We provide free access to the RCNi learning platform and cover your NMC fee.
  • We offer the opportunity to use the government-backed Apprenticeship Levy fund to develop nursing practice in line with your specific role.
  • All 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.
