Smoking rates are incredibly high among adults experiencing homelessness, with rates of 76-85% being reported. However at least 50% of those who smoke and are experiencing homelessness want to quit but face barriers to quitting, including accessing information about quitting and support, peer group pressure, and use of smoking to relieve boredom and/or stress. Poor mental health, a higher use of alcohol and illicit drugs, along with the challenges of being homeless make effective smoking cessation support harder to access and quitting harder to sustain. This service is part of the government’s ambition to make England smokefree by 2030 (smoking rates of 5% or less). This service is being overseen by Changing Futures and Housing First, two services within Cambridgeshire County Council who have extensive experience working with people facing multiple disadvantage. You will be working with the Smoking Cessation Team Leader and one other Adviser to set up and deliver the service. About you You will be passionate about working face-to-face with individuals to improve their health outcomes. As such you will have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in health and social care and preferably have experience as a NCSCT Practitioner. You will have a high level of interpersonal skills, undertaking multi-agency work with partner organisations, providers, individuals, families and carers. You must: • Have a relevant health or social work qualification or equivalent demonstrable experience in the field of smoking cessation or health coaching in the community., • Have an interest in working with people facing multiple disadvantage, such as homelessness, mental health, drug and alcohol, criminal justice or domestic abuse. Please apply with a personal statement ensuring you explain how you meet the personal specification, what interests you about the role and what you can bring to it. This is a full time, fixed term post for 1 year. Continuation beyond this is dependent on securing further funding, however, there is a likelihood of an extension if successful.
