Examples of the activities the post holder will undertake in the first year include:
• Supporting a variety of public health programmes covering a range of topics such as alcohol, tobacco, obesity, immunisation, mental health with a specific focus on reducing health inequalities.
• Supporting engagement events across the borough in both the work place and community setting in order to promote health and wellbeing.
