3 days ago

Bury Saint Edmunds, United Kingdom West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

An exciting new role has been created as part of the Smokefree Generation ambitions. The Board at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust signed the NHS Smokefree Pledge in September 2024 and as part of this commitment, working with Suffolk County Council Public Health and Communities team, we need a tobacco dependence administrator to join the existing tobacco dependence team.

We want to expand the service to support people to stop smoking whilst visiting our emergency department and site, with continued support in the community after their visit. In addition a service will be developed to support staff to stop smoking at work and remain smokefree.

This programme of work aims to prevent health complications and address the health inequalities caused because of smoking by offering treatment and support to people who smoke as well as reducing the harms of second hand smoke on our hospital site. You will join the tobacco dependence team within the Trusts public health team, reporting to the tobacco dependence lead.

Main duties of the job

You will have the opportunity to work confidently across the trust. You will provide direct support to the tobacco dependence team and people under their care. You will work closely with hospital teams to further build their knowledge, skills, and confidence in supporting people to stop smoking long-term by identifying people who smoke and treating tobacco dependence.

There will be a requirement to build strong relationships with partner agencies. Effective communication skills will be required, working with a range of stakeholders including patients and public representatives. In supporting delivery of the 'Smokefree Generation', you will need to complete the required training with the National Centre for Smoking Cessation Training (NCSCT), Personalised Care Institute, and other trust training offers as appropriate.
