Public Health Advanced Practitioner

We are looking for two forward-thinking and passionate Public Health professionals to join our dynamic Public Health team on a permanent basis. As a Public Health Advanced Practitioner or a Public Health Advanced Practitioner (Health Intelligence), you will help shape local health outcomes, support the delivery of meaningful change, and drive evidence-based public health initiatives. In these roles, you will have the opportunity to influence strategy, foster strong community relationships, and make a tangible difference to health services from your first day.

At Bracknell Forest, we pride ourselves on being a council which is stable and well-managed where our employees can thrive in a supportive environment. We understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance and offer a variety of flexible working practices, including options for remote working and arrangements that allow you to work from home, dependent on the needs of the service.

The roles of Public Health Advanced Practitioner and Public Health Advanced Practitioner (Health Intelligence) both provide a unique opportunity for further developing your specialist Public Health competencies and population health management analysis skills.

You will be educated to degree level or have equivalent relevant experience, reflecting strong numeracy skills ideally in public health, statistics, or a health related field.

You will demonstrate commitment to ongoing professional development and hold UKPHR registration or willing to work towards UKPHR registration.

Our small but ambitious Public Health team benefits from strong support within the Council as well as from the wider East Berkshire Public Health system.

We are extremely agile and receptive to change and team members really feel inspired within their roles to deliver and can clearly see the difference they are making to our local residents.
