Independent Prescriber

Who we are

At Via, our mission is to provide the best health and wellbeing support to as many people as possible, helping them to change their lives for the better.

Last year, we supported over 11,000 people across the UK affected by alcohol and drug use. Everything we do is driven by our values:

• Care. Care for people is at the heart of everything we do.

• Be human. We are accessible, genuine and humble. Always learning.

• Do the right thing. We’re open, honest and inclusive. We get things done.

We want to recruit the very best talent. We believe in nurturing a positive workplace culture where our colleagues feel valued, recognised, empowered, and supported.

What we’re looking for

An exciting opportunity for an experienced Independent Prescriber to join our Gloucestershire team. With a background in either nursing you will have sound and demonstrable knowledge of clinical/prescribing issues relating to substance use disorders, including appropriate recovery, harm reduction and health promotion interventions. The post is predominantly based in our Gloucester locality with countrywide coverage required

You’ll provide compassionate, street-based drug and alcohol support to people who are rough sleeping. Working closely with partner agencies, you’ll take a whole-person approach, responding to each individual’s need.

As an Independent Prescriber you will be joining a vibrant body of clinicians across Via's wider national workforce, with regular meetings for peer support, case discussion and CPD.

With a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for people accessing our services, we are looking for individuals with sound, demonstrable experience of prescribing to individuals with substance use disorders, and of harm reduction and health promotion interventions.

We’re looking for someone who is motivated, flexible and confident working both independently and as part of a team.

This is not just a job – you’ll help people rebuild their lives, reconnect with their family and friends, return to work or education, and much more.

We’re looking for individuals with compassion, good communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

If you’re someone who is a good listener, stays curious, and wants to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
