We are seeking highly motivated people who are passionate about public health and are a team player, with a master's in public health or equivalent worked based experience.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will have responsibility for leading work across Gwent (Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire, Newport and Torfaen) on projects or programmes in line with agreed local and regional needs and priorities, but with specific focus on the annual work plan.
The post holder will have experience of working to reduce health inequalities in a local authority, public health or multi-agency setting, and will play an important role in developing the skills and knowledge of others about health inequalities. 
You will work in partnership with a range of local, regional and national organisations to make a significant contribution to equity, health and quality of life of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (Gwent) residents.
You will contribute to the planning, implementation and evaluation of a range of programmes and services, by providing Public Health support to service improvement work, including health needs assessments, service reviews, pathway development, prioritisation and commissioning of health services.
