About us

Norfolk County Council is changing. We're a forward thinking council that wants the county and its communities to make the best of their potential.

We're recruiting leaders who can drive our transformation and ensure our council is more commercial, more efficient and able to manage demand, through more early help and prevention.

Like all county councils, we face declining Government grant, growing demand and a rising population. We must become financially self-sufficient. But we are not interested in managing decline, or in limiting our ambitions.

We're re-designing services, so that they meet the needs of our growing population, provide high standards of customer care, reflect the priorities of residents and provide good value for money.

Our priorities are to ensure we have a well-educated and skilled population, support vulnerable people and to enable the creation of real jobs and improved infrastructure.

With our strong knowledge economy, cutting edge manufacturing and vibrant culture, Norfolk is a great place to live and work.

Job Purpose

This permanent post will support the Director of Public Health (DPH) in delivering their statutory public health functions across Norfolk. The post holder will work closely and constructively with the Director of Public Health, Deputy Directors of Public Health, other consultants and the wider public health team, as well as being a highly visible leader with key system partners across the local system.

This post will develop relationships within Norfolk County Council, the associated District Councils, and neighbouring local authorities; UKHSA, OHID, NHS England, the local Integrated Care Board across the Integrated Care System and with wider stakeholders.

Public health consultants work as system leaders at strategic or senior management level or at a senior level of expertise such as epidemiology or health protection.
