The Role:
Join our friendly and supportive tobacco control team to advance your career in Public Health whilst playing a key role in addressing health inequalities and preventing ill-health in our communities. We are part of the wider Hampshire and Isle of Wight Public Health Team who enjoy the challenge of working innovatively to ensure continuous improvement of Public Health initiatives which are underpinned by an evidence-based approach.
Working closely with services and partners who support vulnerable children and young people, such as Early Help, Corporate Parenting and Youth Services and our current preventing smoking and vaping in young people provider “No Limits”, you will work to develop and embed new pathways and interventions, which will enable children, young people and families to receive support to become smokefree.
A Master’s in Public Health (or a related field or working towards this) or post-graduate equivalent, alongside relevant experience is essential. Your nuanced understanding of working within the context of Children and Young people (especially vulnerable children and their families) and relevant significant experience of working in Tobacco Control for Children, Young People and Families will enable you to implement strategies and policies, influence key stakeholder and project manage Public Health programmes to facilitate change.
This is a brand-new role giving you the opportunity to bring your unique touch to the role, whilst working autonomously and within a vibrant team. You will use your excellent relationship building, communication and influencing skills to build interest and capacity with a wide variety of partners towards achieving a smokefree generation in Hampshire. Your ability to work effectively across a complex system will enable you to lead impactful and sustainable programmes successfully.
We recognise the benefits hybrid working can bring, so you’ll be able to work remotely (with equipment provided) with office-based working in Winchester once a week.
In return, we are committed to your continued personal development and offer an extensive Benefits Package.
Please note that you must have the right to work in the UK to be eligible for this role.
