We are recruiting for a Dual Diagnosis Practitioner at HMP Brixton

Here at Forward Trust, we deliver a complex range of drug and alcohol services in the unique prison environment.

Our support includes providing advice, health and wellbeing, motivational work, clinical services, and a wider range of group work and treatment programmes.

The Forward Trust services which are delivered within prison settings are commissioned by NHS England and are delivered in partnership with primary healthcare providers and HMPPS. Integration and partnership are integral to the work we do.

Dual diagnosis is an all-encompassing cross sector and cross-agency concern. The sheer breadth and complexity of issues makes it essential that people using, providing and working in services all work together. Dual diagnosis needs to become a bigger priority at all levels.

The Dual Diagnosis practitioner will operate across HMP Brixton with a focus on establishing an effective dual diagnosis pathway and integrated framework that enables services to meet the complex and changing needs of people experiencing co-existing mental health and substance misuse issues.

This role requires leadership and ability to manage strategic partnerships. There is particular emphasis on partnership working with mental health services.
