A rare opportunity has arisen for two experienced Researchers to join an innovative and dynamic team in the WHO CC Directorate within Public Health Wales.


The post holder joins a growing research and evaluation team in ACE Hub Wales and will help shape the development of research and impact evaluation, providing leadership and innovative solutions.

You will be based in the WHO CC Directorate in our head quarter offices in Cardiff and will work closely with public health staff in other directorates, wider partners and be required to travel throughout Wales.


In return, we offer great benefits including hybrid and flexible working, a fantastic NHS pension, excellent annual leave, cycle to work and car lease schemes, childcare voucher schemes, plus many more.


If you are enthusiastic and motivated, then this is an exciting opportunity for you to join our highly talented, cross functional, dynamic and friendly team.


This post forms part of the ACE Hub Wales and will work in partnership with academic colleagues to design and conduct research to improve understanding of the impact and effectiveness of public health policies and interventions.

The post holders will participate in dissemination of research findings through presentation, peer reviewed publications and reports. The post holders will develop and deliver training for public health professionals on research methods and research governance. The role will provide a focus for work in relation to the evaluation of health improvement interventions.

The post holders will also be encouraged to develop links with academic public health teams to develop joint projects and will provide advice and support to others in research design, conduct and analysis.

Public Health Wales is the National Public Health Institute in Wales. Our vision is 'Working to achieve a healthier future for Wales'.

We play a pivotal role in driving improvements in population health and well-being, reducing health inequalities, improving healthcare outcomes, protecting the public and supporting the development of health in all policies across Wales.


Never more has public health been so important as we come through the Coronavirus pandemic, face the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis and tackle and prevent the harmful effects of climate change.

We are an organisation that places ourselves at the heart of supporting people, communities, partners, and the Welsh Government in addressing these major challenges and providing solutions for action.

For further information about the vacancy please see the job description and personal specification attached.
