About us and the role

It’s an exciting time to join our Public Health team as we move into a new phase of pandemic response and learn to live safely with COVID-19.  Our focus is on improving and protecting the health of the people of Warwickshire and reducing preventable differences in health outcomes. This role is a real opportunity to make a difference to the lives of our residents.

We are a dynamic, supportive, and solution-focused team.  You will benefit from the foundations of well-developed health protection workstreams established in the County and working very closely with colleagues in Coventry plus sharing system-wide responsibility for several work programmes across the sub-region.

You will be responsible for leading Health Protection assurance and associated programmes across Warwickshire & Coventry.  This includes the next phase of COVID-19 response and recovery, alongside taking the lead for Public Health on the Sustainability and Migrant Health agendas and being our emergency planning lead.

Your work will prevent and reduce levels of communicable disease, environmental hazards (taking the public health lead for Sustainability, with linked portfolio areas of fuel poverty and air quality), drugs and alcohol and oral health, and ensure that screening and immunisation programmes have comprehensive coverage within the local population.

You will lead on Migrant Health and provide expert input into the commissioning of services including community nursing TB, sexual health, affordable warmth, drug and alcohol services and oral health promotion.
