  • Conduct and oversee COWS (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale) and CIWA-Ar assessments to guide safe detox progression.
  • Monitor and interpret vital signs (BP, pulse, respiration, O2 sats, and temperature) to identify early signs of deterioration.
  • Respond effectively to clinical and medical emergencies, ensuring client safety and adhering to clinical best practice.
  • Maintain accurate clinical documentation, support audits, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives.
  • Work collaboratively with doctors, therapists, GPs, and external professionals to deliver integrated treatment.
  • Mentor and develop support workers, promoting continuous learning, detox knowledge, and best practice across the team.
  • Oversee daily clinical operations, stepping into centre management responsibilities when required.

  • NMC-registered nurse (RGN/RMN) with post-registration experience.
  • Strong clinical leadership and communication skills.
  • A proactive, compassionate professional who thrives in a multidisciplinary setting.
  • Experience in detoxification, substance misuse, mental health, or acute clinical settings
  • Strong working knowledge of withdrawal management tools (e.g. COWS, CIWA-Ar) and detox medications such as Librium.
  • Confident in risk assessment, triage, and emergency response.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong attention to detail with a commitment to accurate clinical record-keeping.
