About the Role
As a Behaviour Change Practitioner, you won’t just support individuals—you’ll shift behaviours at scale. Working across community and clinical spaces, you’ll empower people to quit smoking and make healthier life choices in diet, movement, and alcohol use.

This role blends direct client support with wider community engagement. You’ll lead sessions in local areas, deliver training to fellow professionals, and offer behavioural advice that feeds into broader health strategies. Think of it as frontline wellbeing work backed by evidence, empathy, and a clear impact on local lives.

It’s not nine-to-five. It’s person-to-person. The role requires some evening and weekend work, but it’s flexible, purpose-driven, and deeply rewarding.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver one-to-one and group behaviour change sessions across Gwent
• Use evidence-based tools to support smoking cessation and lifestyle change
• Collaborate with NHS teams to embed health improvement in everyday care
• Train and mentor professionals on behavioural science approaches
• Gather and interpret client data to shape future service improvements
• Support local health campaigns and community engagement efforts
