Part Time Specialist Substance Use Nurse (Hiring Immediately)
Job Location
Chalvey, United Kingdom
Job Description
### Job Introduction
**Part Time: 15 Hours Per Week 2 Days Per Week**
At Turning Point we support people with substance use issues across the
country. As a nurse in our Slough Service, youll make a real difference to
the lives of those experiencing difficulties from drugs and alcohol usage.
Passionate about people, youll enjoy the opportunity and support to enhance
your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need
to progress in your nursing career.
Our Drug and Alcohol Wellbeing Service ‘START’ offers support to individuals
in Slough, East Berkshire. You will work within a busy service under the
supervision of our Clinical Lead and Operations Manager to improve the
wellbeing of a wide range of individuals.
Running health and social care services as a social enterprise, we invest
every penny back into our care - and our people. So, if youre ambitious and
ready for a fresh challenge, progress your career with a sector leader.
### Role Responsibility
As a Specialist Substance Use Nurse you will be involved with supporting
opiate substitute treatment, alcohol and opiate detoxifications and promoting
the uptake of naloxone. You will also provide support to the team providing
Blood Borne Virus screening and vaccinations and will work closely with mental
health, physical health and social care services. Youll also help to create a
collaborative approach that links Turning Point ever closer to outside
professionals and agencies.
### The Ideal Candidate
You will need to be a qualified nurse registered with the Nursing & Midwifery
Council. As an employee you will have access to RCNi to assist with
revalidation, indemnity insurance and support and supervision from the nurse
manager and clinical lead. And of course, we’re looking for a Nurse who loves
talking to people with different needs, is genuinely interested in helping
them, and possesses a deep level of empathy, understanding and patience.
We value individual creativity and initiative and, whatever your role, you
will be fully involved in identifying opportunities to improve the quality of
our services and the service user experience. Your ideas will be listened to,
and your suggestions implemented wherever possible. You will be supported in
your role by extensive training to help develop your skills. Our learning
culture encourages everyone to stay on top of the latest developments in their
field and helps drive service improvement.
