We have an exciting opportunity for a Public Health Lead – Gambling Harms to join us!
This is a 12-month fixed-term, part-time position, with hybrid working and a salary of £55,296 – £60,286 per annum (£33,177 – £36,171 per annum pro rata based on 22.2 hours per week).
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Public Health professional to lead a high-profile Gambling Harms programme across the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead and Bracknell Forest. The post holder will be pivotal to reducing gambling-related harm in the two local authority areas, adopting a co-production approach to convene stakeholders impacted by and who can help to reduce gambling harm locally.
The role is initially for a 12-month period and much of this will focus on delivery of a Health Needs Assessment for RBWM and Bracknell Forest. The approach for this must include capacity and capability building throughout the process to build in solutions to reduce gambling harm from the start. The role presents an opportunity to gain experience working across two local authority areas and lead an emerging area of population health work. It will particularly appeal to people with experience and interest in co-production and capacity building approaches to public health programmes.
