Role

Moving On Inverclyde is developing an extended-hours Harm Reduction and Stabilisation Service in partnership with Inverclyde Alcohol and Drug Recovery Service (ADRS).

This service supports adults following a non-fatal overdose or identified high-risk alcohol or drug incident. Our focus is straightforward: safety, stabilisation, and reconnection at critical points of vulnerability.

We are seeking a Senior Harm Reduction and Stabilisation Practitioner to lead this developing service. You will provide oversight during extended hours, support proportionate risk decision-making, supervise practitioners, and ensure consistent, trauma-informed practice.

This is a non-clinical role. Clinical assessment and prescribing remain the responsibility of NHS partners.

The service operates seven days per week between 9am and 10pm. Regular evening and weekend working is essential.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has significant experience supporting adults affected by substance use
• Is confident managing risk and making sound decisions
• Can provide calm leadership in dynamic situations
• Works well within partnership settings
• Shares our harm reduction and recovery values

We recognise the value of lived experience and the insight it can bring. We welcome applications from individuals who combine personal insight with the skills and experience required for this role.

Full UK driving licence required.

This is an opportunity to shape a new pathway within Inverclyde — strengthening safety, partnership working and recovery at moments when support matters most.

Application notes

To apply, please submit your CV along with a supporting statement (maximum 2 pages) outlining:

• Your experience working with adults affected by substance use and/or complex needs
• Your understanding and approach to harm reduction
• Your experience of managing risk or working independently
• Your ability to work across the 9am–10pm operational window, including evenings and weekends
