The Role:
As a Senior Case Worker, you will support adults with care and support needs to improve their health, wellbeing, and independence through strengths-based reviews and personalized smoking cessation support.

- Use strengths-based and motivational approaches to help people overcome barriers to quitting smoking and achieve positive outcomes.
- Make referrals to local stop smoking services, provide practical advice, and signpost individuals to relevant support and community resources.
- Use person-centred approaches to raise awareness of the benefits of stopping smoking, encouraging informed choices and engagement with evidence-based support.
- Promote awareness of smoking cessation support across the service, sharing learning with colleagues and contributing to preventative practice and continuous improvement.
