Swindon, United Kingdom Swindon Borough Council Full time

At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for - the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

Our vision is to create healthy, strong and resilient communities. Our highly successful public health team works to improve and protect the health of Swindon residents, tackle health inequalities and protect the most vulnerable. This role will be a key part of delivering that vision.

The Public Health Team at Swindon Borough Council is seeking to recruit a Public Health Specialist to lead on behaviour change and awareness around air quality, a key wider determinant.

Your next role

A key part of the role will be designing and delivering evidence based outreach and communications campaigns aimed at increasing active travel, reducing polluting behaviours to reduce harms. Experience of working in or with schools, businesses and community groups is highly desirable.

You will report in to the Air Quality Steering Group, which oversees work aimed at improving air quality within both our small Air Quality Management Area and across Swindon, and work closely with our Environmental Health and Highways teams.

You must bring enthusiasm to support and foster change and an ability to work across organisational boundaries, to build strong relationships with a broad range of stakeholders. We are looking for a strategic thinker, who can identify pragmatic levers for change to enable and encourage good health for all our residents in Swindon. As a Public Health Specialist, you will need to be resilient and motivated; a strong team player who is comfortable working with a range of partner organisations; and taking the lead on major projects.

We offer you hybrid working at the present time with a requirement to be able to travel to Swindon Borough Council Offices and across the Borough as required.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

Your next package

Please see our Rewards and Benefits offer for more details.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon by 2030 together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
