Our Speech and Language Therapy service delivers comprehensive assessment and a wide range of evidence-based individual and group interventions tailored to the holistic needs of the population we serve. Care is underpinned by the principles of trauma-informed and recovery-focused practice. All interventions are individualised and supported by robust risk assessment and management processes.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated individual to join us as a Tobacco Dependence Advisor (TDA), supporting the delivery of the new Emergency Department Stop Smoking Service operating within Norfolk's three acute hospital Trusts. You will be based at James Paget University Hospital.

- Maintaining contact with the patient, contacting them within 48 hours of engagement and at least once a week prior to the 28-day quit date up to 6 weeks.
- Working to monthly targets to ensure that KPIs are met and adapt and target delivery in line with projected outcomes for long term success.
