Cardiff and Vale University Health Board Public Health Team

Principal Public Health Practitioner

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and dynamic individual to join Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan Public Health Team to work collaboratively across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, as a Principal Public Health Practitioner and to drive forward key areas of the Good Food and Movement Framework (2024-2030) and Implementation Plan.

In Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan we are taking a whole system approach to Good Food and Movement. To enable good food and movement for all, our approach recognises and is focused on creating systemic change so that together we address the broader influences that shape the food we eat and how we move.

This is a strategic role within Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan Public Health Team, within Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and reporting to its Executive Director for Public Health. The post holder will take a systems leadership approach, build and foster relationships with a wide range of public, private and third sector partners and aligning to both agreed local and national priorities, lead collaborative action towards shared goals. The post holder will contribute to Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan Public Health Teams’ aim to reduce health inequalities, as well as improve and protect the health and wellbeing of our local population through focused priorities in the Cardiff and Vale Public Health Team Long Term Plan (2024-2030). There will be active leadership through Public Services Boards (aligned to the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act), and through the established Leadership and Enabling Change arrangements for Good Food and Movement that are in place for both Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
