A new support model has been developed to assist both GPs and individuals on MAT, leading to the creation of the Primary Care Recovery Worker role. As a Primary Care Recovery Worker, you will support individuals with low to medium support needs receiving MAT in the community with their GP.

The team will be based centrally within Glasgow City, supporting shared care GPs and their patients across North East, North West, and South Glasgow.
