Hello!
We are delighted you are considering coming to work with us at Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW). We’re on a journey to make the Trust an inclusive employer, representative of the community we serve.
Job Overview
The job comprises the provision of medical services to CNTW addiction recovery partnerships.

Alongside a medical team comprising addiction psychiatrists and GPs, you will be responsible for the medical input to the specialist addiction services across the community settings. The services provide treatment for alcohol and drug use disorders across all ages, at all stages of recovery and in patients presenting with a range of complex co-morbidities.
Main Duties of the Job
Main duties of the role include working as part of a multidisciplinary team comprising clinical and non-clinical staff in the assessment and management of patients referred for drug and alcohol treatment. Based mainly within Greenacres in Ashington and Sextant House in Blyth, you will oversee patients undergoing a range of interventions including medically assisted detoxification, initiation of opiate replacement therapy and relapse prevention medication. There is a significant focus on physical health and so you will work alongside our physical healthcare team to order and interpret investigations and refer on as appropriate.
Detailed Job Description and Main Responsibilities
This is a replacement post as the current postholder is retiring and is located mainly in a busy drug and alcohol recovery partnership. You will be part of a wider multidisciplinary team comprising CPNs, general nurses, non-medical prescribers and recovery coordinators (from a range of backgrounds) and will provide clinical advice to all members of the team.
