This is an opportunity to use your clinical expertise where it can have a lasting impact—working within a multidisciplinary team that puts people at the heart of every decision.

Why this opportunity?

Working alongside Recovery Coordinators, doctors, clinical colleagues and partner agencies, you’ll provide high-quality assessment, prescribing and treatment reviews. You’ll promote harm reduction, support improvements in physical and mental health and help people feel informed and involved in their care. You’ll also contribute to the development of our prescribing service, sharing your expertise and helping colleagues maintain safe, consistent and evidence-based clinical practice.
