The role
Do you have a passion for public health? Would you like to be part of work to examine how we can reduce health inequalities? Do you want to support councils in their role in creating healthier places for their citizens? If so, we are looking for an Adviser to join us as part of our public health improvement programme.
This role offers varied public health work from topic specific improvement programmes such as suicide prevention, through to whole system approaches to tackling inequalities with the Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme (COTP) and the Shaping Places for Healthier Lives Programme (SPHL).
The focus of this role will be on delivering our public health improvement programmes to councils through a combination of providing direct support to a few councils and developing a wider support offer, building the evidence, and sharing the learning for all councils.
The requirements
The successful candidate should have a good, broad knowledge of local government and public health. Strong project management skills and experience in delivering programmes will be important. We use a test and learn approach, both within the LGA and our programmes, so the ability to be flexible and adapt as necessary is essential.
