Consultant in Public Health Protection

NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s Public Health Directorate is offering an exciting opportunity to join our progressive team working in the picturesque west coast of Scotland. There is a generous relocation fund available for anyone looking to relocate to Ayrshire. You will be joining a team, embedded within the NHS, but working closely with Community Planning Partnerships, Local Authority, Integrated Health & Social Care Partnerships, Third Sector, Resilience Partnerships and others.
The portfolio for the Lead Consultant in Health Protection and Enhanced Community Health Protection (Consultant in Public Health / Consultant in Public Health Medicine) post will offer a stimulating mix of work with multidisciplinary teams across Ayrshire. We have excellent and very active working relationships with our three Local Authorities, Integrated Health and Social Care Partnerships (IHSCPs), Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs), NHS Infrastructure and Support Services, wider partners such as Police Scotland, Scottish Fire & Rescue Service (SFRS), Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) and Third Sector colleagues.
The post holder will be actively encouraged to develop their own areas of interest and utilise our excellent links with universities across the West of Scotland.
This post is subject to the NHS Scotland Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions for NHS Staff. Applicants must be registered as a Specialist with the UK Public Health Register, or for medically trained applicants, within six months of obtaining their CCT (at date of interview), and demonstrate equivalent training and experience particularly for health protection leadership.
