Job summary

Are you a nurse with extensive experience in Substance Misuse? Are you a qualified non-medical prescriber with a passion to work in substance misuse? Have you experience of clinically leading? Are you a car owner/driver? Are you flexible? Are you proactive?

Would you like an opportunity to join our exciting and innovative Substance Misuse Service? I-access is seen as a forward thinking and innovative service. It has been a high performing service for many years and has remained in the NHS since it started over 3 decades ago. Quality standards are a high priority for the service and for Surrey County Council.
