This challenging role will involve delivering practical, bespoke interventions both in person and through a wide range of network partner agencies that support people away from substance misuse and violence, towards a safer, healthier and more productive lifestyle. It is envisaged that the post holder will work as an extended member of commissioned drug and alcohol services in the community and in addition to improve the patient journey will also report back to the partnership group where potential challenges and bottlenecks are in the current system.
