The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is looking for 2 Public Health Programme Officers (one 1 year fixed term and one permanent) to work within their multidisciplinary team supporting programme development, project co-ordination, service improvement, commissioning and contract managing. This is an opportunity for highly motivated individuals wanting to develop their knowledge and practical experience of improving health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities for the people of RBWM.
The Role:
You will work, with support from other team members, to carry out the following duties and responsibilities -
* Support the Public Health Consultant, Service Leads, Deputy Director of Public Health and Director of Public Health, working with multi-agency partners to develop, commission and contract manage services for Children & Young People and Adults.
