- Deliver support to Tier 2 and Tier 3 clients and ensure follow-up.
- Manage and supply stop smoking treatments during sessions.
- Promote clinics and outreach activities to maintain engagement and meet KPIs.
- Build strong relationships with health services, community organisations, and workplaces.
