An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time Maternity Smokefree Advisor.

The post holder will support pregnant smokers and family members to quit smoking through weekly appointments. This will include offering behavioural support to manage cravings and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to aid their quit journeys. All training to become a level 2 trained Smokefree Advisor will be provided, unless already trained. Experience in Maternity Services and/or Public Health is desirable so that the post holder can effectively signpost to other support available.

We are looking for a pro‑active, enthusiastic individual who enjoys engaging with women and their families in a supportive role; someone who is positive about life and holds a passion for helping others to help themselves. The post holder will help women and birthing people to make a difference in their pregnancies and the lives of their families. The post holder should recognise that some families can have complex and multifactorial issues often requiring support from other services and agencies. Excellent communication skills are essential for this role.

The post holder will have their own caseload of pregnant people to support over a two to three month period and will manage the caseload with minimal support from the Smoking in Pregnancy Leads. A flexible attitude and ability to travel between hospital sites, other community hubs and patient's homes is essential.
