You will be able to work at a senior level, using your experience of population health approaches, budget / financial management, project management and problem solving in the recommissioning of public health services.          

You will have excellent communication and partnership working skills, be organised, flexible and autonomous. You will be accountable to a Senior Public Health and Commissioning Manager and will work in a complex, multi-agency environment.

Postholders will be primarily based at County Hall, Nottingham, but with the option to work flexibly with an alternative base at Meadow House in Mansfield, Notts.
