Smoking Cessation Outreach Worker

The Big Life Group’s mission is to fight for equity, in health, in wealth and in life.

What links them together is the way we work – The Big Life Way.

We always stand shoulder-to shoulder with people, working with them on the things that matter most to them. Everything we do is designed and informed by the needs, priorities and strengths of people and communities.

• Inspiration

  We are inspired by the people and communities we work with and share what we learn from them to inspire others.
• Thoughtful

• Valuing difference

  We recognise and celebrate the unique qualities, gifts, insights and perspectives that different people offer.
