What you'll be doing:

We are seeking to appoint an experienced Public Health Officer (Analyst) to work in a growing and forwarding-thinking Public Health Team.

The postholder will work across the public health function and will be required to liaise with other areas/departments across the council and external partners too. The postholder will report to and support the Public Health Lead for Health Intelligence and Insight, with a multitude of projects and developing partnerships to expand the work and reach of public health. You will be required to support project development, project monitoring and performance reporting, amongst other areas of business and team administration.
