We have a unique opportunity for someone to lead our Drug & Alcohol services across five community localities and one residential detox ward.

AWP provide clinical community drug & alcohol services to Dorset, Bournemouth, B&NES, South Glos and Bristol. The post holder will be responsible for managing these services, liaising with various local Third sector and Local Authority commissioners to ensure these services deliver to the performance and quality required.

This portfolio also includes responsibility for the management of Acer ward based at Southmead Hospital, Bristol.

There is a large degree of autonomy within the role and the post holder should relish the opportunity to develop and improve these services.

Additionally, due to an uplift in public health funding, the post holder will be responsible for implementing a number of exciting new projects over the forthcoming months. You will ensure that these projects, are delivered, monitored and evaluated to demonstrate optimum benefit for the service users.

The teams consist of a number of health professionals including nurses, non medical prescribers, psychologists and addiction psychiatrists.
