The closing date for applications is 22nd May 2025, but early applications are encouraged as the role may close early if sufficient applications are received.
WithYou works with clients to find the right path for their recovery, and you will play a vital role in that process.
You will collaborate with the Operational & Clinical Leadership and Recovery Workers to ensure that the clinical and psychosocial needs of clients are met, prescribing safely and effectively according to best practices, while considering individual needs. This role offers a chance to make a meaningful difference to vulnerable populations.

You will keep up-to-date with treatment developments, and help develop, implement, and evaluate interventions such as harm reduction, substance misuse support, vaccination, and blood testing programs. You will also proactively reach out to communities for support and education.
An induction period and ongoing supervision and CPD will be provided.
We welcome applications from prescribers with a passion for working with our client group, including those from other specialties, as full training and induction will be provided.
