We're looking for a Health and Wellbeing Practitioner to join our Substance Misuse Service at HMP Brixton on a full-time basis, working 35 hours per week.

You'll work closely with healthcare and partner agencies to ensure individuals receive the right support at the right time, from arrival into prison through to release.
Key responsibilities include:
