Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of those affected by substance misuse? Do you want to be part of a dynamic, compassionate team that prioritizes recovery? If so, we want to hear from you.

About the Role:

As a Forward Trust Substance Misuse Non-Medical Prescriber (NMP), you will play a crucial role in the clinical care of individuals experiencing issues with drug and/or alcohol use.

1. Conduct comprehensive assessments of service users' physical and mental health.
2. Prescribe and review medication related to substance misuse, including opioid substitution therapy and alcohol detoxification.
