About the Post:

 

 

 

Public health is a broad ranging area of work to help maximise population health & wellbeing, and support people to help themselves. The field of public health is constantly evolving in response to the needs of communities and there has never been a more important time to join us in Barnsley to help us to reduce inequalities and improve the environment and behaviours that affect health and wellbeing. Our award-winning council is on an exciting journey of change. It’s all about putting local people at the heart of everything, listening to and working with our local communities. That’s what matters at Barnsley Council.

 

We are looking a creative, ambitious and focused public health officer who can help us transform our communities.  As our council undergoes significant change and ambitious improvement, you’ll provide vital public health skills and knowledge to the Public Health and Communities Directorate. 

 

Your role in our journey

 

As a Public Health Officer you will support the work by contributing to the development, delivery and evaluation of programmes and projects, and provide skilled input into service transformation, commissioning and contracting.  This will include areas such as Health Improvement, reducing health inequalities and improving the wider determinants that impact on health and wellbeing. This also includes Carer and Customer support and engagement to embed public health principles into our local communities through our Area Council arrangements.

 

Shape a better future with us

 

We’re thrilled to have achieved Investors in People (IIP) Gold status for how we lead, support and develop people. Now we’d like you to be part of our success and help us take change further.
