This is Croydon. The largest borough in London. The youngest borough in London. A borough with stark inequalities bringing an opportunity for an outstanding leader to make a massive difference.
The refresh of Croydon’s Health and Wellbeing strategy and the council’s recent peer review of Public Health has presented a collective opportunity for the council, in collaboration with partners across the ‘One Croydon Alliance’, to set a new vision for public health in the borough. There is strong commitment across our system to maximise the role and impact of public health in Croydon to enable an approach which can target the social determinants of health and build on the unique assets of our communities.
As the Director of Public Health, you will provide expert professional advice to the Chief executive, Executive Mayor, scrutiny committees, the Health and Well-Being Board and other external bodies on all public health matters that relate to those who live and work in Croydon. Reporting to our Assistant Chief Executive, you will deliver the statutory function of the Director of Public Health, fulfilling the statutory duty and working closely with the council’s senior leadership team, local communities and partners, ensuring impact and reach across all Council services and aid in the delivery of The Mayor’s business plan. More than this, you will be joining a forward-thinking council that is ambitious for its people and place with one of the most extensive transformation plans in the country.
