Our Stop Smoking Practitioners deliver one to one and group stop smoking interventions within a wide range of settings. Across Merton our service will include work within one to one and group settings and also involve evening/weekend work.

The post holder will be required to work flexibly across the brough as required ensuring their skills, expertise and knowledge are fully utilised.

This post will:

• Provide information to smokers to enable them to make an informed choice to make an attempt to stop smoking and then to support the smoker with a formal evidence based quit programme.

• Develop and improve accessibility of the Merton Integrated Service through the pro-active promotion of the smoking cessation programmes and referral pathways amongst primary and secondary care services, other key health care providers, allied professionals, community development initiatives, local agencies and the general public. 

• Provide ongoing support to a caseload of referrals, supporting each ‘quit attempt’ in line with national and company standards.

• Contribute to the planning, delivery and development of the stop smoking service including specific project work.
