Service Manager; Stop Smoking

We are seeking a passionate and experienced public health professional with a strong knowledge of stop smoking to become our Service Manager (Stop Smoking).  Helping people to stop smoking is a key element of our wider tobacco control agenda as we aim for Derbyshire to become smokefree by 2030.  The stop smoking service sits within Live Life Better Derbyshire (LLBD) that provides a range of health improvement services.

Derbyshire has an innovative stop smoking service that offers the full range of pharmacotherapy treatment options, access to the Smokefree App, and is developing tailored treatment support for priority groups. The postholder will be responsible for the further development of the service.

The stop smoking service is delivered both in community settings and at two acute hospitals for both adult inpatients and pregnant women as part of an NHS funded TDT service.  You will also contribute to the wider tobacco control programme and play a key role in developing LLBD more generally.

As well as significant public health knowledge you will have experience of managing individuals and teams as well developing and delivering services.  You will be a committed individual who can work in partnership with colleagues in LLBD, public health and other stakeholders across the wider Derbyshire healthcare system.
