We are currently seeking a new Director of Public Health with a proven track record who can contribute to our strategic goals, drive further improvements in health and wellbeing, reduce health inequalities and get the best outcomes for the people of Stockport.
Our public health team was at the heart of our work to support communities through the Covid-19 pandemic. As we move forward as an authority, it is vital that we tackle the underlying issues and key determinants of health in the borough. That is why this role is so critical to us. You will enable us to reach further into our communities and drive the prevention agenda. You will also play a key role within the integrated leadership team, helping us develop the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System (ICS), with a seat at our locality board.

We are ambitious Stockport, working together with partners as One Stockport to create opportunities for all of our residents. If you don’t know much about our town, it’s time you did. Stockport is rich in history and culture; it is vibrant and well connected with unique neighbourhoods, local villages and district centres. We are part of Greater Manchester but we are also lucky to have Cheshire and the Peak District on our doorstep, sharing wide open countryside and farmland. But we are also the eighth most polarised borough in England, and the pandemic has only made things worse. We are determined to level the playing field for everyone in the borough and create opportunities for all residents to shine.
Thank you very much for considering this role. We hope that you have found all of the information and insight you need in the candidate information pack and we hope to see you soon. If you have any problems with the application process please don’t hesitate to contact the team.
