Tobacco Dependency Treatment Advisor

4 weeks ago


Prestwich, United Kingdom Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Tobacco Dependency Treatment Advisor to join the newly formed Tobacco Dependency Treatment Service, for patients with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) admitted to hospital or receiving support in community mental health services at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH). Tobacco Dependency Treatment Advisors will be integral members of the Tobacco Dependency Treatment Service.

Tobacco addiction is a chronic relapsing disease and the single biggest cause of preventable death, disability, illness and social inequality. 1 in 2 smokers die prematurely due to their smoking. People with a mental health condition have higher mortality rates compared to the general population and smoking is the single largest contributor to their 10-20-year reduced life expectancy.

GMMH has been selected as an Early Implementer Site for the CURE model of treating tobacco dependence, which is a proven, evidence-based intervention providing access to smoking cessation treatments alongside specialist support, at the time of hospital admission.

This role will be diverse with opportunity to visit sites across the GMMH footprint to deliver smoking cessation interventions, deliver training, and support the Trust to adopt the CURE model. Tobacco Dependency Treatment Advisors will make a valuable contribution to improving health and reducing health inequality amongst people with SMI.

**Main duties**:

- Deliver tobacco harm reduction (smoking cessation) assessments, advice and support sessions including the provision of motivational and behavioural support.
- Contribute to the development of individual Tobacco Dependence care plans
- Support and advise patients with SMI to switch to a vape and/or access NRT whilst in mental health inpatient, outpatient and community mental health settings.
- Be a positive role model to each ward-based smoke free champion and other clinical staff in supporting patients to reduce harm from tobacco whilst maintaining a strong visible clinical presence
- To support the implementation of the Smokefree Policy and help increase confidence in Harm reduction/ Stop Smoking conversations.

**You will have**:

- GCSE including Maths and English grades A-C (or 4-9), or equivalent demonstrable experience
- Experience of working with people with a mental health condition and/or learning disability
- Good verbal and written communications skills
