Description

NHSE/I South East is seeking to appoint a Consultant in Public Health - Screening and Immunisation Lead (SIL) for 30 hours/ 8 Programmed Activities per week in our Thames Valley locality.

The postholder will work alongside another part-time SIL for Thames Valley, splitting the portfolio between them.

The postholder will work collaboratively with other SILs in the region, and will be part of the wider healthcare public health network in NHS England South East, providing the opportunity to work closely with other public health consultants.

The Consultant in Public Health will be responsible and accountable for screening and immunisation system leadership in their locality.

Working with system partners, the SIL will lead efforts to improve access, experience, outcomes and coverage, putting addressing inequalities at the front and centre of the work.

The postholder will co-lead the Screening and Immunisation Team, providing public health advice and support to strengthen commissioning of the programmes to meet the needs of the Thames Valley population.
