Job summaryThe Under 25 Substance Misuse Team are seeking to recruit a Band 6 RGN to join our expanding service. The Under 25 Substance Misuse Team are cross county service that provide treatment and intervention to young adults with a broad range of presentations and substance use related needs.
We are looking to recruit adaptable, highly motivated, skilled RGN nurse with a range of professional expertise to be part of our team.

This would also involve delivering interventions to assist our colleagues in providing and promoting healthcare treatment.
