You will work on a range of public health programmes as required as part of the overall Public Health team, including work on emotional health and wellbeing, mental health, self-harm, and suicide prevention. You will be responsible for action and policy related to tackling inequality and social determinants of health, supporting the Consultants and senior team in implementing changes to the Council’s services and influencing outside partners.

It is essential that you have a relevant Health or Social Care qualification at post-graduate level or significant experience, and good knowledge of health care, public health and social care policy and intelligence.
