The Medical Officer role in the specialist community alcohol and drug treatment service is an ideal opportunity for a change of scene. Medical Officers work either full or part-time, in multi-disciplinary community teams which focus holistically on the management of people with drug and alcohol problems. We are offering a permanent full time post in the NW of the city, with a thorough induction and training, SPA time and continuing professional development activities.

Part time work considered. Medical Officers deliver a wide range of interventions to people on their caseload with problem drug and alcohol use with the aim of improving health and social outcomes. These include assessment and review of their drug and/or alcohol dependency and health needs, substitute prescribing, detoxification and relapse prevention prescribing, and providing testing and treatment for Hepatitis C and HIV. Treatment, care and support for people with problem drug and alcohol use is delivered through integrated working between health and social services.

As well as being one of the largest and most dynamic drug and alcohol treatment service providers in Europe, our services are also at the forefront of service developments including diamorphine assisted treatment, integrated community Hepatitis C and HIV care pathways and community based rehabilitation and recovery supports.
