We are seeking a highly motivated individual with excellent communication skills to join our Acute Tobacco Dependency Team at UHS.

This is an exciting opportunity to support patients in their journey to stop smoking and provide ongoing, personalised care to maintain long-term abstinence. In this role, you will assist patients in reframing their approach to smoking behaviours, managing cravings, and developing personalised support plans that incorporate nicotine replacement therapy. You will play a crucial role in supporting hospital discharge planning and helping patients achieve the longer-term goal of becoming smoke-free.

Initially, the service will run Monday to Friday, with plans to expand to 7 days. Working hours will be between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, with flexibility required to meet the needs of the service and service users. Therefore, working hours may be adjusted as needed.
