London, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time

Job Introduction

At Turning Point we support people with substance use issues across the country. As a Specialist Substance Use Nurse in our Central London Service, you'll make a real difference to the lives of those experiencing difficulties from drugs and alcohol usage. Passionate about people, you'll enjoy the opportunity and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress in your nursing career. Our Drug and Alcohol Wellbeing Service ‘DAWs’ offers support to individuals across Central London covering the City of Westminster, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham. You will work within a busy service under the supervision of our Clinical Lead to improve the wellbeing of a wide range of individuals.

Passionate about people, you’ll enjoy the opportunity and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress in your career within a social enterprise. So if you’re ambitious and ready for a fresh challenge with a sector leader then this could be the opportunity for you.

Role Responsibility

As a Specialist Substance Use Nurse you will be involved with supporting opiate substitute treatment, alcohol and opiate detoxifications and promoting the uptake of naloxone. You will also provide support to the nursing team providing Blood Borne Virus screening and vaccinations and will work closely with mental health, physical health and social care services. You'll also help to create a collaborative approach that links Turning Point ever closer to outside professionals and agencies.

The Ideal Candidate

Full training will be provided and no direct experience of substance use is required but an ability to demonstrate providing effective health interventions with hard to reach cohorts such as homelessness would be advantageous.

You will need to be registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council.
