Your public health landscape is changing. 

The new Peterborough Public Health team is gearing up to tackle some of the most crucial health challenges facing our community. 

This dynamic and new team is poised to make a real impact with a focus on the wellbeing of our children and young people, as well as the complex interplay between health behaviours and broader societal factors. The team will work on key issues from tackling substance misuse to promoting inclusive health practices. 

Bringing expertise and leadership to the table, the Director of Public Health is a core member of the council's Corporate Leadership Team and will report to the Executive Director of Health and Adult Services. But that's not all - the Public Health Intelligence team is also undergoing separation where they'll be incorporated into the broader council intelligence team. Imagine the data-driven insights and impact this can have on our work across the council and with all our partners! 

Although the public health team has separated from a shared team with Cambridgeshire County Council, the Directors of Public Health for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire will still work hand-in-hand to maximise health improvement opportunities and provide unparalleled public health leadership across the entire system as there is a Joint Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Health and Wellbeing Board and Strategy in place. 

The Peterborough Public Health team and this role provides a critical opportunity to make a difference to the health outcomes of Peterborough residents and embed health in everything we do.
