Public Health Programme Manager

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of people and reducing health inequalities in Tower Hamlets. You will work as part of a team focusing on supporting and developing healthy communities.

We are looking for an experienced and competent Programme Manager, with a passion for community development to join our Healthy Communities Public Health team in Tower Hamlets.

Our unique function strives to enable communities to drive change at a local level and embed strategic insight across the Council to influence positive health outcomes and address health inequalities in Tower Hamlets. You will work alongside three other Healthy Communities Programme Managers, each responsible for one of our localities.

Key responsibilities could include:

  • Contributing to a multi-agency Locality Health and Wellbeing Committee
  • Developing programmes to address cross-cutting topics such as loneliness
  • Improving access to services by deprived and marginalised communities
  • Using community insight to shape and co-produce services

This role will involve supervision of staff, trainees and volunteers and leading on agreed projects and programmes.

The post holder will work across the public health department, the council and with wider partners, including NHS, ICS, universities and community and voluntary organisations.

You will report to the Programme Lead for Healthy Communities and will assist on all aspects of the Healthy Communities programme, taking the lead for specific programme areas as agreed. The post holder will deputise for the Programme Lead where required.

We are a borough of contrasts with a diverse, young and growing population. We have achieved better than expected public health outcomes during COVID-19 and are looking to tackle new challenges including cost of living crisis and the impact on wellbeing through social isolation.

Our Healthy Communities team is looking for an experienced community development professional to listen, work alongside, and empower our residents and communities to help shape and improve health and wellbeing across the Borough.

You are likely to be requested to be available for occasional evening and weekend meetings, subject to the requirements of the work programme.

If you wish to discuss this post, please contact Stef Abrar, Programme Lead for Healthy Communities, [email protected]

Tower Hamlets vision for our borough is that: people are aspirational, independent and have equal access to opportunities; we are a borough that our residents are proud of and love to live in; and we are a dynamic, outcomes-based council using digital innovation and partnership working to respond to the changing needs of our borough. We want people who aspire to our TOWER values: Together; Open; Willing; Excellent; Respect.

Tower Hamlets has a zero-tolerance approach to, and works to eradicate, all forms of discrimination on the basis of race, sex, disability, age, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital status, status as a civil partner, gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy and maternity and looks to employ a diverse workforce representative of those groups. We recognise that people can also be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class.

We welcome applicants interested in flexible working arrangements and also applicants who live in the borough.
