Job description

At Via, our mission is to provide the best health and wellbeing support to as many people as possible, helping them to change their lives for the better.

Last year, we supported over 11,000 people across the UK affected by alcohol and drug use.

Everything we do is driven by our values:

• Care. Care for people is at the heart of everything we do.
• Be human. We are accessible, genuine and humble. Always learning.
• Do the right thing. We’re open, honest and inclusive. We get things done.

We want to recruit the very best talent. We believe in nurturing a positive workplace culture where our colleagues feel valued, recognised, empowered, and supported.

What we’re looking for

This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced and growing organisation.

We’re looking for a Hospital Liaison Nurse for our Kingston service.

You will play a vital role in bridging acute healthcare services with specialist community addiction services. Your input will ensure people who use our services receive seamless, compassionate support when they need it most. In this dynamic role, you’ll provide expert advice, advocate for safe, person-centred care that genuinely makes a difference by reducing harm, improving treatment outcomes, and bringing a human touch to otherwise busy clinical environments.

As Hospital Liaison Nurse you will be joining a vibrant body of clinicians across Via's wider national workforce, with regular meetings for peer support, case discussion and CPD.

This is not just a job – you’ll help people rebuild their lives, reconnect with their family and friends, return to work or education, and much more.

We’re looking for individuals with compassion, good communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

If you’re someone who is a good listener, stays curious, and wants to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
