Director of Public Health

Royal Borough of Greenwich
Up to £131,210
Hackney

A London borough of culture and diversity, Greenwich hosts the O2 arena, the Royal Park, the Royal Observatory, the Cutty Sark and the Royal Naval College. It is also a place with significant social, economic and health inequalities which we are determined to address.

THE ROLE

The Public Health department is at the heart of the council’s business. It is a well-established team, with strong links across council departments, joined-up working with the NHS and excellent partnerships with the community, voluntary and faith sectors and with local residents.

We work as part of the London and the South-East London public health systems, the South East London ICS, and are actively engaged in a wide range of collaborative work across borough boundaries & London-wide. We are seeking to appoint to our Director of Public Health role, a key statutory leadership position within our authority and the wider system. You will be an experienced senior public health professional, with a strong track record of delivering complex system change to improve health and wellbeing and to tackle the unjust inequalities in health that persist within our communities.

Royal Borough of Greenwich values the diversity of its community and aims to have a workforce that reflects this. We therefore encourage applications from all sections of the community.
