Do you have a track record of working in partnership across organisations to make changes, find solutions and make a difference for local populations?
Buckinghamshire Council is looking for a Public Health Practitioner to join its Public Health team.
About usBuckinghamshire Council is a relatively new organisation that combines the strengths and expertise of the previous five councils in the county to create positive change for local people, communities, and businesses. We are firmly focused on the future and have made a clear commitment to serve residents better and to provide stronger representation for Buckinghamshire, both locally and nationally.
The Council is an innovative and high performing organisation, and public health is embedded in the council’s core business.
Buckinghamshire is generally more affluent and as a result has better health outcomes than the national average. There are however significant inequalities across the county, and the population is ageing.
About the roleWe are looking to recruit into a full time Public Health Practitioner post on a permanent basis. A new multiagency Healthy Ageing Strategy and action plan has just been approved for Buckinghamshire. This role will be responsible for developing and delivering an effective range of evidence based and innovative public health programmes for Healthy Ageing that will support the delivery of the new Strategy.
The successful postholder will work with other local authority services areas, other service providers both in the NHS and voluntary and community sector, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and other relevant national and area leads to maximise health improvement and reduce inequalities in health.
The post will be part of a wider team of Public Health Practitioners.
About youThe ideal candidate will have substantial experience in Public Health related posts and have a first degree and postgraduate qualification in an area related to health promotion and/or public health, or at least three years’ experience in posts related to health promotion and/or public health, either in a local authority, NHS or voluntary sector setting.
You will also be willing and able to change your work areas according to the needs of the Public Health Department.
We offer flexible working and opportunities for continuing professional development, including support to work towards registration on the UK Public Health Register as a Public Health Practitioner.
For full details about the role, please see job summary attached.
Closing date: Midnight on Wednesday 29 th May.
Interviews: The provisional date for interviews is Wednesday 19 th June.
This post is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants are required to declare:
- All unspent cautions and/or unspent convictions
We reserve the right to close the vacancy once we have received sufficient applications, so please be advised to submit your application as early as possible.

We believe our workforce should reflect the diverse communities we service in Buckinghamshire, and are looking for like-minded individuals to join us in promoting equality, fairness, and inclusion for everyone.
About the Service AreaBuckinghamshire is an exciting place to work and a beautiful place to live. It has a population of more than 500,000 and although generally healthy and wealthy, there are significant public health challenges and inequalities across the county. The Council is now a unitary authority, which enhances our ability to address the broader determinants of health.
Good health is vital to the social and economic success of an area. It contributes to safe, strong, cohesive happy communities, educational attainment and the ability to find and remain in employment. In turn, this reduces demand on children and adult social care services and healthcare services.
Our Public Health service works with communities and colleagues in the NHS, voluntary sector and other partners to co-design approaches, building on the assets of communities to develop solutions and provide equal access to all residents. Some of the ways we do this are by supporting mental health, improving access to healthy, affordable food through a range of growing schemes, and our Active Communities program.
We recognise and reward youHard work and success deserves recognition. That’s why we pride ourselves on the benefits we give our people. We actively encourage a good work-life balance and promote flexible and agile working arrangements. We provide discounts on various Cafés, restaurants, shops and auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme. We also offer a salary sacrifice personal car lease scheme to those who are eligible and have passed their probation period. In addition to the opportunity to gain membership to Costco, we have discounted gym memberships, travel discounts with Arriva and much more.
