As such you will need the ability to engage with a range of stakeholders from statutory, private and third sectors and also have the credibility to work collaboratively with clinical staff.
- The successful applicant will report directly to the service manager (Head of Public Health Programmes) and proactively manage current commissioned contracts, procurement of new services, delivery of nationally prescribed and locally co-ordinated programmes. As the lead for vulnerable adults, you will be expected to promote health, address health inequalities and collaborate with other agencies to do the same.
