South West, United Kingdom Somerset County Council Full time

**Why should I choose Somerset Council?**
Well, for a start, we’re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities, and businesses of Somerset.
And that’s why we’re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.
If you’re looking for a place where you work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.
We also promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.

**What will I be doing?**
We’re working to improve the lives of people here in Somerset - and you’ll be a key part of that joining a dynamic public health team, which has an excellent reputation. Your day-to-day work will involve:

- Providing specialist support and advice to people in Somerset who wish to quit smoking or vaping.
- Delivering face-to-face group and one-to-one telephone support sessions - providing a positive and encouraging environment.
- Working closely with the acute trust to support patients to remain smokefree after discharge.

**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
We offer ongoing support, training, and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you:

- Can communicate with a wide range of people both in face-to-face group and one-to-one telephone formats and building effective relationships with groups and individuals across a range of backgrounds and settings.
- Have experience of managing a client/patient caseload and maintaining concise records.
- Knowledge of the impact of smoking and vaping on health and wellbeing outcomes.
- NCSCT Smoking Cessation Accreditation.
- Have access to/use of a vehicle - this is an essential requirement for this post.

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

What will I be offered in return?
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.
We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more
