Location: Stoke-on-Trent Civic Centre

Panoramic Associates is delighted to be supporting Stoke-on-Trent City Council with the recruitment of a permanent Consultant in Public Health.

Stoke-on-Trent is no ordinary city. Forged through a proud industrial heritage and world-renowned for its craftsmanship and enterprise, it is a city of deep identity, strong values, and meaningful connections. Its communities are resilient and tightly woven, where kindness, care and a strong sense of place sit at the heart of everyday life.

Stoke has launched its new corporate strategy, ‘Our City, Our Wellbeing’, focused on reducing inequalities and creating shared wealth across the city.

The council is now looking to expand its public health leadership with the appointment of a Consultant in Public Health – a role critical to helping shape a happier, healthier and more fulfilling future for its residents.

Responsibilities

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams to deliver a public health portfolio including sexual and reproductive health, health protection and public protection
• Day-to-day responsibility for enabling, driving and facilitating an increased council focus on the development of collective improved wellbeing outcomes for residents
• Ensure the successful delivery of sexual health services, NHS HealthCheck, as well as providing specialist public health support to ICSs – this will include taking responsibility for the relevant outcome indicators within the UKHSA, OHID, NHS (and Social Care) Outcome frameworks and working across organisational boundaries
• Manage budgets circa £8.6m expenditure
• Deputise for the DPH as required
• Take a practical and “hands-on” approach to addressing public health challenges.
• Share Stoke’s vision for tackling inequalities through a broad wellbeing-based approach

Requirements

• You don’t need to have experience in a particular portfolio area, as long as you are a qualified Consultant in Public Health and are passionate about improving health and wellbeing of residents and the city
• You need to be able to take a strategic view of the wider determinants of population health, using all aspects of the portfolio to drive the best possible outcomes for the people of Stoke-on-Trent, connecting with colleagues across the council and external partners to support the delivery of its corporate strategy and the Health & Wellbeing strategy
• Inclusion in the GMC Specialist Register/GDC Specialist List/UK Public Health Register (UKPHR) for Public Health Specialists (with a license to practice) or within 6 months of CCT at the date of interview.

What the Role Offers

• A unique opportunity to lead in a city with a strong identity and deep community spirit.
• The chance to shape and influence public health across a whole city system.
• A supportive and passionate team, driven by values.
