Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate, motivated, and dedicated nurse to join the Alcohol Care Team as a band 6 Alcohol Nurse.
The Alcohol Care Team launched in May 2022 at Dudley Group Foundation NHS Trust and is proud to be part of the Dudley Integrated Liver Service. The team expansion means that we will be able to deliver our service 7 days a week and you will be expected to work at least one weekend a month. The Alcohol Nurse will be supervised by the Senior Alcohol CNSs and training will be given to the new team members. However we are very open to change and always looking at ways to continually improve the ACT, so any ideas will be welcome.
