    About us

    As one of the biggest local authorities in the UK, we are part of a network of partners spanning both public and private sectors. Our work matters, and together, we can achieve big things.

    Buckinghamshire is an exciting place to work and a beautiful place to live. It has a population of more than 500,000 and although generally healthy and wealthy, there are significant public health challenges and inequalities across the county. The Council is now a unitary authority, which enhances our ability to address the broader determinants of health.

    About the role

    These roles are funded by NHS England with the aim to grow a trained and diverse public health practitioner workforce. We would particularly welcome applications from people from ethnic minority groups to grow our diverse and representative workforce.

    You will gain hands-on experience of public health delivery and work towards Practitioner registration with the UK Public Health Register (ukphr.org). This role will include:

    • 1 day a week of protected study time for the duration of the contract to support your learning and development.
    • Support to undertake a structured development programme as part of this role. This will help to build on your existing knowledge through further training as well as educate you to broaden your knowledge, understanding and application across all areas of public health.
    • Opportunity to undertake placements and/or projects to gain a broad understanding across the three areas of public health.

    About you

    As a local, large employer we are keen to recruit people from our local communities, therefore you will be someone who either has a working knowledge of the local geographic area or lives within the local geographic area of Buckinghamshire. The ideal candidate must:

    • Be educated to degree or post graduate level in a public health or related discipline.
    • Be prepared to undertake a structured educational development programme alongside delivery of public health programmes and projects.
    • Have the ability to undertake placements and/or projects to gain a broad understanding across the three domains of public health.
    • Be committed to complete all elements of the training programme, including undertaking projects, placements, full attendance at structured educational programme and completion of a portfolio towards professional practitioner registration with UKPHR.
    • Have experience or links with communities experiencing health inequalities across the local geographic area.

    Any-Desk

    As an ‘any-desk’ worker, you’ll need to be connected to our network to access digital folders and resources, but this can either be from home or an office location when required. You will be required to work from the office a couple of times a week, depending on your role and team requirements.
