An opportunity has arisen to join the small GP Liaison Team in the Substance Misuse Services based at Lees Street in Ashton-under-Lyne. The team currently provides 'shared care' drug treatment interventions to over 200 patients in 10 primary care clinics across Tameside and Glossop.
Partnership work involves a broad range of both statutory and non-statutory agencies but in particular GPs and other primary health care team staff, and community pharmacists. This new post represents a further expansion of the service.
The successful candidate will be involved in the development of three GP clinics and in the regular collaborative assessment, treatment and review of relatively stable patients in those clinics.
A nursing, social work, or equivalent qualification, or 3 or more years experience in the substance misuse field is essential.
The ability to work autonomously, and in a self-directive and proactive manner is crucial, as is the ability to be a specialist drug treatment resource to other staff, especially GPs.
The post holder will be able to work effectively under pressure within a broad motivational enhancement approach.
The role will take the successful candidate into close contact with the primary care health system but it also offers an unrivalled opportunity to experience specialist treatment service delivery in the context of a rapidly developing local and national drug management agenda.
The service provides a high level of support and supervision both formally and informally.
Car driver essential.
