Stop Smoking Advisor
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Stop Smoking Advisor supports people to quit smoking through structured consultations, behavioural coaching and evidence-based interventions. Responsibilities typically include assessing smoking habits, creating personalised quit plans, providing nicotine-replacement or other treatment guidance within policy, maintaining accurate records, and working with health professionals and community partners. Candidates are expected to have strong communication and motivational skills, empathy, good organisation, and the ability to work independently and as part of a wider healthcare team. Experience in smoking cessation, health improvement, public health, or client-facing support is advantageous. The role also requires confidentiality, safeguarding awareness, accurate documentation, and a commitment to reducing health inequalities.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
