One of the3million’s core values is equity - we are people led, we value diversity and are enriched by differences. We strive to listen to, engage with and represent the broadest range of people.

The Role

HAGA is seeking a compassionate and motivated Hospital Liaison Team Leader to join their dedicated team. This is a non-clinical role that plays a vital part in bridging the gap between clients accessing their alcohol services and those receiving hospital care—whether through emergency admission at A&E or ongoing treatment for other health conditions.

Primarily based at North Middlesex University Hospital, the role will also involve occasional travel to other hospitals within their localities to ensure consistent support for clients wherever they may present. The position is co-located between hospital settings and their Seven Sisters Road office, promoting strong integration and continuity of care.

You’ll manage a small, committed team and take responsibility for maintaining effective communication pathways between hospital staff and the service. Often, you’ll be the first point of contact for clients in clinical environments—offering reassurance, understanding, and practical support when they are feeling vulnerable and uncertain.

You will assess appropriate referral pathways, both within HAGA and with external services, while maintaining regular communication with both hospital teams and staff at the main office. You’ll oversee and coordinate this essential pathway to ensure seamless, person-centred care.

Skills and Qualifications

While team leader experience is desired, it is not essential. They welcome applicants with experience in the Substance Use field and/or hospital settings, as well as those with transferable skills suited to this role.

The successful candidate should also be open to working occasional evening hours if service demand indicates a future need for increased flexibility.

Benefits

• Generous annual leave entitlement (27 days, plus bank holidays, increasing to 32 after 1 years’ service)
• Annual leave purchase scheme
• Enhanced occupational sick pay
• Enhanced employer contribution to your workplace pension
• Death in service benefit
• Free Will writing
• Eyecare vouchers
• Blue light card discount
• Fantastic learning and development opportunities, including free training courses
• Work-life balance- flexible working and family friendly policies
• Happy, Healthy You! – their wellbeing offers for their workforce
• Employee Assist Programme and Support Networks
