About the Role
We are recruiting for two Associate Director/Consultants in Public Health to join our Public Health Division. Tower Hamlets is a fascinating place to live and work. It is an inner city London borough full of contrasts and extremes, with some of the highest levels of social deprivation and health inequalities in the country alongside areas of great affluence such as Canary Wharf. The population is highly diverse, mobile, young, and rapidly changing due to population growth and migration trends.

Joining our Public Health Division means becoming part of a team recognised for innovative work at London and national levels. We have a strong track record of achievement, excellent partnership working, and a reputation for high quality analytical public health work. We are also a well-established training location with links to NHS and local universities, including the Royal London Hospital and Queen Mary University.

The Council is committed through the Our Tower Hamlets Vision to work together with kindness, creativity, and determination to break the cycle of poverty and inequality and ensure everyone can live a good life and achieve their full potential.

If you are ready to challenge and develop yourself as a public health leader, Tower Hamlets offers exceptional opportunities to fulfil your ambitions.
