Description

Durham County Council holds the budget for the regional Integrated Care
System (ICS) Prevention Board, which is to be used to fund the employment
of a full time NHS Band 4 Recovery Navigator for 12 month period.
This post will be employed by Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust, Freeman Rd, High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne NE7
7DN
The service objectives are:
• To reduce the impact of alcohol related frequent attenders including
include those affected by alcohol-related violence.
• Enhance the Alcohol Care Team by providing additional patient
centred support between acute and community services
• Ensure that service transitions are the norm and are increasingly
effective
The post holder will deliver and contribute to the development of an
innovative recovery programme which will offer a range of support to
address what matters to the client, e.g. housing, benefits, welfare, etc. The
post would support secondary care clinicians; including those in ED to
support service users into support within the hospital and, crucially, post
discharge. 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. The Navigator will
also explore the volunteer role working closely with the recovery community
to recruit previous service users who are able to relate and show
compassion to patients showing instant trust and sustained engagement
with treatment programmes and support outreach visits
