Staff Nurse

Turning Point is recruiting a Staff Nurse for Smithfield, its 22-bed specialist inpatient detox unit in Manchester city centre. The service offers medically managed detox alongside psychosocial interventions, with a recovery-focused, care-planned approach that puts the service user at the centre.

As a Registered Nurse on the unit you would:

• Administer medication and run groups
• Manage admissions and discharges
• Take part in clinical supervision and provide clinical and line supervision to junior staff
• Mentor student nurses

Turning Point will consider either an RMN or an RGN. The service has a strong record of supporting newly qualified nurses through preceptorship, so nurses interested in substance misuse work who are early in their careers are welcome, with support from an experienced practitioner.

This is a permanent, full-time post of 37 hours per week paying £34,266 per year. Turning Point states 25 days' paid holiday plus bank holidays, rising with service to 27 days, with the option to buy extra leave. It also highlights training, career development and the chance to gain experience in its other services across the country.

The closing date is 13 November 2026, but the advert may close early if the post is filled.
