A large public sector organisation is seeking a highly experienced Specialist Public Health Commissioner to lead the transformation of its Integrated Healthy Lifestyles and Wellbeing services. This is a high-impact programme, focused on simplifying a complex commissioning landscape and delivering a more streamlined, outcomes-focused model across multiple providers, without compromising service quality or population impact.
The Opportunity
You will lead a £7m commissioning programme, reshaping how prevention and health improvement services are designed and delivered. The current provider landscape is complex and fragmented, so your role will be to rationalise, integrate and future-proof services through an innovative, locality-based commissioning approach. This is a strategic yet hands-on role where you will take the programme from early scoping and evidence review through to procurement and mobilisation.
The programme covers a wide range of public health and prevention services, including: healthy lifestyles, behaviour change services, smoking cessation, physical activity, healthy weight and alcohol and wider wellbeing support. This is a rare opportunity to shape a major public health transformation programme at scale, delivering meaningful improvements to health outcomes.
