As maternity cover for a Senior Public Health Specialist, you will work within a team of public health staff, to support the Director of Public Health to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities in Hackney and the City of London. You will act in a supporting role for specific areas of public health (including tobacco control and environmental sustainability) to plan, deliver and evaluate public health initiatives and commission public health services. 
You will be expected to be able to work across all domains of public health as and when required to do so and with additional training and support if necessary.

There will also be opportunities to work with wider system partners within the City and Hackney health and care system.
You will be educated to degree level and have significant public health knowledge and skills, acquired through training, experience or formal study. You will have a knowledge of the causes of ill health and inequalities, combined with a knowledge of public health principles and methodologies.
