Temporary 2 year contract

Your role:

UKPHR’s Specialist registration by portfolio assessment (SRbPA) route is a retrospective assessment of knowledge, skills and experience. This is an equivalent route towards public health specialist registration available to those with substantial experience at senior level who can demonstrate their specialist knowledge and skills across all key areas of public health.

This role will be critical in accelerating specific public health programmes and projects at pace, bringing your specialist public health skills to bear in a dedicated way to achieve change and impact.

By managing projects from initiation to completion along with mentoring and support, there will be opportunities to demonstrate personal impact and outcomes during the fixed term contract and complete your submission to the register.

About you:

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has substantial experience in public health and is capable of working independently. You’ll bring creativity and a can-do mindset along with your professional technical skills and will be supported to apply your public health leadership to continue our journey to ensure public health promoting practice is embedded in the organisation and across our partnerships in the borough.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate that they will be able to submit their pre-application for Specialist UKPHR within 6 months of taking up the role.

About us:

Wigan Council has been voted ‘Overall Council of the Year’ at the APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence) Awards. We are signed up to the Greater Manchester Continuous Service Commitment ensuring that your service will be continuous or ‘unbroken’ between the supporting organisations.

The Progress with Unity plan is a place movement for change for the next decade, bringing a new era for Wigan Borough. It draws on the strengths of our individual organisations, recognising that together we can achieve much more for our communities by delivering on our 2 place missions; create fair opportunities for all children, families, residents and businesses and make our towns and neighbourhoods flourish for those who live and work in them.

We’re all about people here at Wigan Council, working in an asset-based way alongside our communities to understand what’s important to residents and shape services accordingly, aiming to ensure people are socially connected and doing things they enjoy. You will be joining a team where we work collaboratively and supportively to get things done, an organisation which has strong political and managerial leadership and real ambition to improve health outcomes for residents.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking to work in a truly collaborative, empowering, and inclusive organisational culture, where we are committed to providing training and development in a high-quality learning environment.

Here at Wigan, we are proud to support flexible working patterns, when the service can accommodate this. We also take a blended approach to where we work, depending on the work we do. This may include working from home, the office, or the community. We like to thank our employees for their hard work and commitment by giving them the opportunity to access a range of exclusive rewards and benefits.

Wigan Council prides itself on equality, inclusion and promoting diversity within the borough and aims to recruit a workforce that reflects our diverse communities. We invest in training and developing our staff, in a positive learning environment, and aim to be a consciously inclusive employer. We welcome applications from everybody in the community and would particularly encourage applicants from our underrepresented groups to apply. At Wigan, it is really important to us that applicants demonstrate our Team Wigan behaviours, and we do all we can to make sure that everyone feels like they belong. We have guidance in place to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and consistently at every stage of the recruitment process.
