The Community Outreach Worker will lead on our Health promotion outreach work in the community to build connections and work with identified people to help them begin their journey toward healthier lifestyle choices and to stop smoking.

We are seeking a self-starter with a range of skills, a flexible approach and a ‘people person’ with the ability to link in with all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds. You will have autonomy and creativity to develop and deliver activity in the community to better promote healthier lifestyle choices focusing on stopping smoking but also healthy weight and physical activity. The role will focus on identifying and supporting Oxfordshire residents to make healthier lifestyle choices, sign posting to useful services and to stop smoking by signing up to the Stop For Life support services.
