Director of Public Health
Salary: to £105,453 (including market forces supplement of £8,000)
Closing date: 20 October 2024
Herefordshire Council has recently developed an exciting new ten-year
strategy for health and wellbeing in the county, guided by a clear vision,
“Good health and wellbeing for everyone.” The central focus of the
strategy is two-fold: The best start in life for children; and good mental
wellbeing throughout life.
We are currently seeking a new Director of Public Health who will work
with our partners and communities to make this vision a reality and
help us deliver our key health and wellbeing priorities. As a large rural
authority, we are conscious that access to services can have a huge
impact upon health inequalities, and we are determined to work more
closely with health partners and community and voluntary groups to
ensure a more joined up approach.
As DPH you will need to be a visible presence, keen to embed public
health principles across the wider authority and drive and support a
number of key public health programmes and work streams. Backed
by a strong and stable team, you will have a clear focus on delivering
tangible outcomes for our residents and the ability to work strategically
with Members and the senior leadership team. You will need the usual
statutory requirements for a senior public health position, but above
all, we are seeking proactive and results focused candidates who can
develop a systems leadership approach.
