Job description

The City of Doncaster Council is a confident, ambitious organisation which puts improving the life of its residents at the centre of everything we do. You have a opportunity to be part of this in the role of Public Health Project Officer.

It is an exciting time to be involved in health, wellbeing and community support in Doncaster. The Doncaster Growing Together Borough Strategy has set out to change the way that public services deliver community support. Our ambitions are being realised through our inclusion in two national programmes which will test place-based, community-led health and wellbeing approaches across Doncaster.

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with a passion for improving public health and wellbeing to join our Well Doncaster team. The team undertakes community-centred approaches to addressing health inequalities, and the programme has been recognised nationally for its strengths-based approach. A key element of this work includes building community reporting, which involves empowering residents to share their lived experiences, local knowledge, and observations through structured storytelling, surveys, and informal feedback. This grassroots intelligence helps shape local priorities, inform service design, and ensure that community voices are central to decision-making.

In this role, you will work closely with Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Officers across Doncaster to highlight stories of difference—capturing the diverse experiences, challenges, and strengths within our communities. Through this collaborative approach, community reporting becomes a powerful tool for building trust, transparency, and shared ownership of health and wellbeing outcomes. It also strengthens relationships between residents and services, creating a culture where everyone contributes to shaping healthier, more resilient communities.

In return for your hard work and dedication, we can offer you the chance to be part of a great team dedicated to ensuring that all people in Doncaster thrive. You will also have access to a variety of attractive employee benefits including competitive leave entitlement, a generous local government pension scheme, a wide range of well-being support and development opportunities. You will also have access to a range of staff discount and benefits schemes. More information on the benefits available to you as a City of Doncaster Council employee can be found in the attached benefits book.

Please ensure you view the job summary and job profile as you will need to demonstrate in your application form how you meet the required criteria.

Shortlisting will take place on the 2nd October 2025 and it is anticipated that interviews will be held on week commencing 6th October 2025.
