Public Health Scotland has a unique opportunity for you to join our Executive Team and make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of the people of Scotland.
We are Scotland's national public health body. Our aim is to protect the health of the people of Scotland, and through our efforts increase healthy life expectancy and reduce health inequalities. We are accountable to the Scottish Government and Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, working closely with partners across all sectors in Scotland to realise our ambition of a Scotland where everybody thrives.
The post
The role of Director of Clinical and Protecting Health is critical. The country is facing significant challenges to public health; challenges that require innovative and creative leadership, a clear vision, robust response and close working between local and national partners. We are looking for a highly motivated and visible public health leader with a commitment to collaborative working to deliver results. You will direct our clinical and health protection function, working closely with partners in other NHS boards and in local authorities. You will lead and support emergency and contingency planning in relation to serious threats to public health. Working with fellow members of the Executive Team, you will lead on the delivery of the PHS Strategy, work across our organisation, driving forward transformational change and displaying our values in your work to realise the ambitions of public health reform with partners and stakeholders across the system.
The candidate
You will have cross-organisational professional responsibility for specialist public health professionals and will lead our support for externally facing activity on learning and workforce development for public health professionals. You will be a credible and respected adviser, providing expert professional advice to the Public Health Scotland Board and its relevant committees, the Chief Executive, the Executive Team, the Scottish Government, COSLA and other partner organisations. You will be a motivational leader, creating the capacity for transformational change, leading on research and innovation and driving forward system-wide developments, while ensuring that core services are maintained.
We look forward to hearing what you will bring to our organisation and how your expertise will help us meet our ambitions for health and wellbeing in Scotland.
