We are looking for a compassionate and experienced Dual Diagnosis Nurse to join our team, supporting individuals with co-occurring substance misuse and mental health needs.
This is an exciting opportunity for a registered nurse who is passionate about delivering person-centred care and improving outcomes for people facing complex challenges. You will play a key role in providing clinical assessment, care planning, risk management, and evidence-based interventions, helping individuals to achieve recovery and improve their overall wellbeing.

As a Dual Diagnosis Nurse, you will:
Undertake comprehensive clinical assessments for individuals with co-existing substance misuse and mental health conditions. Develop, implement, and review personalised care and risk management plans. Deliver evidence-based interventions, including motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, harm reduction, and trauma-informed approaches. Support individuals through community and inpatient detoxification pathways. Provide overdose prevention advice and promote the use of naloxone where appropriate. Deliver structured one-to-one and group interventions. Monitor and respond to changes in mental health, escalating concerns when required. Build strong partnerships with Community Mental Health Teams, GPs, housing providers, social care services, criminal justice agencies, and voluntary sector organisations.

You are a skilled and compassionate registered nurse who is committed to delivering high-quality, recovery-focused care. You have experience working with individuals affected by substance misuse, mental health difficulties, or both, and understand the importance of building trusting therapeutic relationships.
You will be confident working autonomously whilst also contributing positively within a multidisciplinary team. You are passionate about reducing health inequalities, supporting recovery, and helping people achieve positive and sustainable outcomes.
