Make a Real Difference in Someone's Recovery Journey
Are you a compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse or HCPC-registered Paramedic looking for a rewarding opportunity outside a traditional hospital or emergency care environment?

At UK Addiction Treatment Centres (UKAT), we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to rebuild their life. We are looking for a skilled and motivated healthcare professional to join our dedicated team at Linwood House in Barnsley, supporting individuals through drug and alcohol detoxification and rehabilitation.

This is an excellent opportunity to use your clinical expertise in a meaningful setting, working consistent weekday hours while making a genuine difference to people's lives.

About the Role
As a Registered Nurse or Paramedic at Linwood House, you will play an important role in ensuring our clients receive safe, compassionate and effective clinical care throughout their recovery journey.

Working closely with our multidisciplinary team, you will support clients with their physical and psychological health needs, monitor their progress through detoxification and contribute to a safe and supportive treatment environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out comprehensive health assessments and monitor clients' physical and psychological wellbeing.
• Support clients undergoing medically monitored drug and alcohol detoxification.
• Recognise and respond appropriately to withdrawal symptoms, changes in health and clinical emergencies.
• Administer and monitor prescribed medication in accordance with your professional scope of practice, competencies and approved clinical procedures.
• Maintain accurate clinical records, care plans and risk assessments.
• Work collaboratively with therapists, support workers, medical professionals and management to deliver person-centred care.
• Promote safeguarding, infection prevention and control, and high standards of clinical governance.
• Provide reassurance, education and compassionate support to clients throughout their recovery.

About You
We welcome applications from both Registered Nurses and Paramedics who are passionate about providing high-quality care.

Essential Requirements:

• Current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a Registered Nurse or the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Paramedic.

• Ability to recognise and respond to deteriorating health and clinical emergencies.
• Excellent communication, organisational and record-keeping skills.
• A compassionate, non-judgemental approach to supporting individuals experiencing addiction.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
• Willingness to undertake specialist training and competency assessments relevant to addiction treatment and detoxification.

Desirable Experience:

• Drug and alcohol treatment or detoxification services.
• Mental health, emergency care, primary care or community healthcare.
• Medication administration and management.
• Safeguarding and supporting vulnerable adults.

Previous experience in addiction treatment is advantageous but not essential. We are particularly interested in professionals with transferable clinical skills and a genuine passion for helping others.
