Come and make a difference to the lives of children, young people and residents of Peterborough….
We are pleased to announce a great opportunity for a Consultant in Public Health to join our dynamic team in Peterborough City Council. As one of the fastest-growing areas in the UK, Peterborough boasts a vibrant community and a forward-thinking environment. In 2023, we were recognised as a most improved council, marking our commitment to continuous progress.
You will be providing public health leadership across a range of population level activities, commission services and work with partners to improve health outcomes and reduce inequalities with a focus on:
• Improving children and young people’s physical health and their mental health and wellbeing.
• Promoting mental health and wellbeing and prevention of mental ill health across all ages
Following the recent separation of the Public Health service from Cambridgeshire County Council, we are seeking a talented individual to join our pioneering efforts in adopting place-based approaches that prioritise community involvement and empowerment. Peterborough City Council’s aim is to address health inequalities head-on and embed public health principles into every aspect of our work. This is especially important given the significant and continued growth of the city and the diversity of Peterborough residents. There is a clear focus on improving outcomes for our children, creating healthy environments, reducing poverty and good mental health and wellbeing.
As a Consultant in Public Health, you will report into the Director of Public Health and are a key member of our extended Corporate Leadership Team. You are a key senior leader for public health in Peterborough and are responsible for delivering excellent public health services for Peterborough residents. You will work closely across all the directorates in the council, maximising the opportunities of being a unitary authority.
You will be a senior system leader for improving the health and wellbeing of residents, reducing inequalities in health outcomes and protecting local communities in Peterborough. You will provide public health leadership and work closely with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board, the North Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Care Partnership and other health partners as well as collaborating closely with all key partners to improve health.
We are seeking an individual with excellent senior system leadership, a proven track record of partnership working and delivering excellent public health services, and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels. If you are passionate about meeting the unique health challenges of Peterborough while capitalising on emerging opportunities, we invite you to embark on this exciting journey with us.
