Senior Addiction Nurse - Alcohol and Drugs Recovery service

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

A unique opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated & experienced registered nurse to join the Acute Addiction Liaison Service supporting patients across the Acute Inpatient Services across Glasgow.

Management of the team sits within NHSGGC Mental Health Partnership, Glasgow Alcohol & Drug Recovery Service (ADRS). The Acute Addiction Liaison team are the conduit for working in partnership with Acute, Community, Statutory, Third Sector and Voluntary Services, ensuring a person-centred approach to the care and treatment of individuals with identified complex substance use.

The post-holder should have an understanding and a commitment to the concept of recovery and supporting individuals to access appropriate treatment and follow up supports within their community on discharge. Nurse line management and supervision is a fundamental part of the role in line with legislative frameworks, agreed standards and policies. As an extension to the wider liaison role, there is a requirement to deliver training as part of a rolling educational programme for all staff within the Acute Sector.
