Description

Turning Point is a leading Social Enterprise which supports people with a wide range of complex needs across Learning Disabilities, Mental Health, Substance Use and Public Health.

We are currently recruiting for a Clinical Lead to work in our Integrated Substance Misuse Service as a Clinical Lead, where you’ll have the chance to make a real difference to the lives of the people we support who are experiencing difficulties from drugs and alcohol use.

Passionate about people, you’ll enjoy the opportunity and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress in your career within a social enterprise.

So, if you’re ambitious and ready for a fresh challenge with a sector leader then this could be the opportunity for you.

As Clinical Lead, you will play a pivotal role in delivering safe, effective and evidence‑based care to people accessing our service in Wakefield. Working with some of our most complex service users, you will combine hands‑on clinical expertise with strong leadership to ensure consistently high standards of care and positive outcomes.

You will be central to the clinical direction of the service, providing leadership across clinical governance, supervision and appraisal, workforce development, and service innovation. We are proud to be a responsive, forward‑thinking service, proactively addressing emerging trends such as ketamine use among adults and young people, and the growing risk of synthetic opioids (e.g. nitazenes).

With extensive experience in the substance use field, you will be a key contributor to the ongoing delivery and development of high‑quality clinical interventions. You will work collaboratively with the Wakefield management team, clinicians, local health partners and wider stakeholders to design and deliver holistic, person‑centred care that supports service users throughout their recovery journey.

This role offers a genuine opportunity to shape service delivery, lead clinical innovation and help build a service recognised for clinical excellence. We are looking for a dynamic, motivated and forward‑thinking Clinical Lead who is passionate about achieving the very best outcomes for the people we support.
