Use data, insight, and evidence in the development and implementation of robust strategies for improving health and wellbeing, ensuring qualitative and/or quantitative measurements are in place to demonstrate improvements.

Effectively communicate complex concepts and data and their implications for local communities to a range of stakeholders with very different backgrounds, providing written and verbal briefings, reports, and presentations when required.

Work with UKHSA and other partners to ensure local communities are protected from infectious disease threats (including food and water borne diseases, pandemics, etc.) and environmental hazards, ensuring that health protecting activity (immunisation and screening, sexual health) is effective. Support the Councils' statutory duties and response to external health threats and the Emergency Response Plan under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and the Social Care Act 2012, and any amendments.

Provide strategic support to the Director of Public Health and Assistant Director of Public Health to discharge the Councils' statutory public health responsibilities and deputise when required. Any other responsibilities and requirements that may arise according to the business requirements of WWL and the Council, as determined by the DPH and Medical Director through an agreed work plan.

Be an effective, courageous, and responsible advocate for improving health and advise Wigan on its statutory public health obligations, providing clear and evidence-based recommendations and advice. Work across the Council and WWL, and with a wide range of partner agencies and voluntary organisations, taking a lead role for strategic public health input into the development, implementation, and delivery of local strategies, developing inter-agency and interdisciplinary strategic plans and programmes, as well as influencing partnership boards to deliver key outcomes for Wigan.

Support the Health and Wellbeing Board and associated fora to drive action and effectively engage partners to achieve the greatest population impact whilst delivering its statutory duty to promote integration for the benefit of local communities. Be responsible for change and improvement, including the resolution of relevant operational issues, ensuring that quality improvement (and clinical governance) programmes are an integral component of the public health approach in Wigan.

Develop strong relationships with a wide range of partners to influence policy and service delivery that has the greatest impact on population health. Operate within a framework of partnerships, including Cabinet/Portfolio holders, Senior Management Team, Local NHS bodies, the VCFSE, UKHSA, OHID, Health and Wellbeing Board, Local Resilience Forum, NHS England, the public, and the media, providing specialist public health expertise and supporting strategy delivery.

Provide public health advice to relevant boards and committees including the Healthier Wigan Partnership and associated forums, influencing the development and delivery of equitable, citizen-focused, and effective health and care services.
