Our highly successful public health team works to deliver this vision by improving health and wellbeing across the county, reducing health inequalities and protecting the most vulnerable. 

The portfolio area for this Consultant post is Health Improvement. 

We are looking for a forward-thinking Generalist Consultant, who has a proven track record working across all domains of public health.

You will influence and inform local policy on health improvement and behaviour change, linking across all domains of public health activity. 

If you're a progressive leader in public health, where your commitment and stamina and agility to work in a fast-paced environment will be rewarded by the diversity of the role, to lead in a supportive environment, whilst developing your own public health career within a passionate team, we would very much like to hear from you.
