Smoking is one of the leading causes of health disparities. While more and more people are quitting smoking, this is not the case for those in less favorable socioeconomic circumstances. They benefit less from preventive measures and smoking cessation support. In the “Neighborhood Approach to Quitting Smoking” program, we collaborate with public health departments, social sector professionals, and community experts to foster meaningful conversations about smoking, provide better support for quitting, and create a smoke-free world for children to grow up in. Of course, we do this with an eye toward and in conjunction with other issues affecting the neighborhood. We are looking for a senior advisor/project manager to help shape this new program.

In coordination with your colleagues on the program team, you will facilitate knowledge exchange within a supportive learning circle, the development of supporting strategies and tools, and the creation of materials for education and continuing professional development. You will contribute to national-level communication regarding the activities and results of the Neighborhood Approach to Smoking Cessation.The ideal candidate has:
