Summary

In the Department of Health and Social Care, we are proud of our purpose – to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you would like to work in, we would love to hear from you.

This role sits in The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) London which focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of Londoners so that everyone can expect to live more of life in good health. We also work to tackle health disparities and their wider determinants to break the link between an individual’s background and one’s prospects for a healthy life.

OHID organises the delivery of its functions in England through its Regional teams which are managed under the leadership of a Regional Director of Public Health / NHS Regional Director of Public Health (RD), who in London also operates as the Statutory Adviser to the Mayor, Assembly and Greater London Authority (GLA) Group as set out in the GLA Act (2007).

The postholder will coordinate and deliver high quality, specialist technical and professional public health advice to support local government with driving improvements in health outcomes and reduction in health inequalities, associated with drugs, alcohol and/or tobacco based on evidence and cost-effectiveness. They will draw on their unique expertise and resources that sit within DHSC/OHID as well as maximise the expertise within regional partners, and the local public health system to improve drug, alcohol, and tobacco outcomes and health inequalities associated with these behaviours.
