The role will include a wide range of activities including supporting us to achieve and maintain micro-elimination of Hepatitis C for our service, hospital alcohol liaison, conducting health and wellbeing assessments, supporting ambulatory (community) alcohol detoxification, and Buvidal administration.

The service consists of both clinical and psychosocial elements and is CQC registered to provide a range of clinical interventions including BBV and health interventions, OST prescribing, community detox, a recovery hub, a family and friends service, and service user involvement provision.
Together we offer a wide range of pharmacological, psychosocial, recovery-orientated, health focused and inpatient interventions that support individuals and their families who wish to receive advice, assessment, and treatment for their drug and alcohol related needs.
