Lewes, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

Job Introduction

East Sussex is a great place to live and work. As a county it has much to offer in the way of outstanding natural beauty, beautiful coastline, great transport links to London and a great quality of life.

The East Sussex Public Health team is forward thinking, aspirational and is compassionately led. This new and exciting post will utilise a ‘whole systems approach’, provide support to facilitate whole systems leadership, work to embed “Health and Environment in All Polices” (HiAP).

The role will work independently to deliver, and support on specific projects related to tackling environmental and health inequalities (including access to nature, coastal and housing for example). Given that climate change is the biggest health threat, it is the biggest risk to public health. It has the potential to reverse years of improvements in global health and increase the pressure on health systems. This post, in part, also provides the opportunity to work collaboratively to understand, develop tools and communicate climate health security opportunities and risks in East Sussex. This work will form part of the measures to adapt to threats from climate change and what the opportunities and challenges may be for a two-tier authority with a varied geography and diverse communities.

The role will work to develop a health impact assessment on climate change and will work to support health protection for present and future generations through the delivery of planetary health/ecological public health objectives.

We are looking for a creative thinking person who is solution focused and can work well with partners. The role is new, innovative and exciting and it cuts across a number of policy areas. Do you have a qualification or experience in environmental impact assessments, sustainable development, environmental science/psychology or delivering public health outcomes? Do you have a strong interest in healthy and sustainable place making as well as health and environmental impacts? Do you want to influence policies other than health across the system? Do you want to gain experience or further experience working in public health? If you answered yes to all of these questions then check out the person specification and start applying. We want to hear from you

Interviews will take place via Microsoft Teams unless or be held as in-person interviews. Interviews will take place in June and details will be confirmed upon being selected.

We offer a diverse range of benefits to help and support you during your employment. More information can be found on our benefits page.
