Trainee Independent Prescriber

We are currently looking to expand our team with a Trainee Independent Prescriber. The post holder will work as part of an integrated treatment recovery system across the County of Cumbria to provide health interventions including service user assessment, BBV screening and immunisation, detoxification (including prescribing) and on-going contribution to recovery planning.

The post will be predominantly based in Carlisle but there may be times in which travel across the county is required to support the needs of the service.

You will work in a supportive and innovative team where we will work with you to plan your career, identifying your areas of interest, moulding your position accordingly to your aspirations.
