Norfolk is a great place to live and work, with access to beautiful coasts and countryside, the vibrant and well-connected city of Norwich, thriving market towns, affordable housing, and good rail links to London. This is an exciting opportunity to join us as part of our large, successful public health team.
Our team provides strategic leadership in the fields of prevention and policy, commissioning of public health funded services, healthcare public health, health intelligence, and health protection to improve the health and wellbeing of Norfolk’s communities. Joining our Public Health Specialist Team, you will support the Director of Public Health to deliver their statutory public health functions across Norfolk with opportunities to help shape and develop ambitious aims for prevention across the system and in working with the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and across the Integrated Care System (ICS). As a senior-level expert, you will advise on public health practice across the spectrum of both our direct work and that of our partners.
With a high level of intellectual rigour, negotiation, and motivational skills, you will deal with complex public health issues, strategies, and services, taking a long-term approach to related strategic improvements.
Your portfolio may vary over time and cross all domains of local authority public health. Initially, you’ll likely focus on adult healthy lifestyles, with an emphasis on smoking/vaping, whole system approaches to obesity/healthy weight/physical activity, and supporting the DPH with primary prevention within the ICS, but portfolios will be agreed in discussion with the successful candidate.
To be successful, you will need to demonstrate the competencies to fulfil a generalist Consultant in Public Health / Consultant in Public Health Medicine role. You will have inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register / GDC Specialist Register / UK Voluntary Register (UKPHR) for Public Health Specialists or be within 6 months of gaining entry and will be able to evidence CPD requirements in accordance with Faculty of Public Health requirements or other recognised body.
We operate a hybrid working policy. Your office base will be County Hall, Norwich. Our technology platform and equipment are first-class, enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely. We ask that you have in place good broadband connectivity and be able to be present at County Hall and other sites in Norfolk as needed.
