You can look forward to expanding your knowledge and skills in a dynamic creative and nurturing environment while truly making a difference to the communities we serve. We have exciting opportunities for Consultants in Public Health working in the highly energetic Public Health Team.
Rotherham’s Public Health team is a vibrant team working on a wide range of issues and with a wide range of partners to achieve significant improvements in local people’s health and wellbeing and addressing inequalities in health between our different communities.

The roles will also involve working across the system with other partners, including local health organisations, the voluntary and community sector and teams across the Council.
