Provide individualised smoking cessation support to women and families in a flexible and innovative way.

This will be done throughout pregnancy and the post-natal period, using the support of interventions such as CO monitoring, behavioural support and Nicotine Replacement therapy. You will work with the specialist midwife in the encouragement of high referral rates and risk perception of those who opt out of smoking cessation support and educate pregnant women/people and their families about the benefits of stopping smoking in pregnancy and give support to those wanting to quit. Alongside this you will promote smoke free homes and support and advise women and families about passive smoking. Prioritisation and organisation of your workload according to the needs of the service will be key and it is essential that you ensure equality, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of your work.

· Provide individualised smoking cessation support to women throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period. Give advice on Nicotine replacement therapy/vaping. This may include maintaining a relationship with sometimes difficult or reluctant to engage clients.

· Educate pregnant women and their families about the benefits of stopping smoking in pregnancy and promote smoke free homes; advising women and families about passive smoking, working within recommended protocols and guidelines.

· Respond to referrals promptly and maintain comprehensive contemporaneous notes whilst supporting the delivery of the service to maintain key performance indicators for tobacco dependency.
