This is a fixed-term post until 30th November 2025.

Secondments will be welcomed.

This is your chance to help deliver the new Population Health Strategy across South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust (STSFT).

You will work with a range of partners across the local system to deliver key Population Health projects. To start, you will focus on improving health literacy in the local area.

The role would suit someone who cares about fairness and tackling unfair differences in health. You should be highly motivated and enjoy working in a changing environment. This is your chance to make a positive difference to our local communities.

Main duties of the job

You will be responsible for the co-ordination and project management of key Population Health projects. To start, the focus will be health literacy projects in the local area.

You will work with the Health Literacy Officer, Consultant in Public Health, the Population Health Lead and a small core team of staff based at South Tyneside Hospital. You will also work closely with our local communities and system partners.

You must be well organised and adaptable to manage the different parts of this role. Project management and quality improvement skills are helpful. We want someone who communicates well and is a team player. You also need to be a self-starter and problem-solver.

Experience of working on large scale projects and delivering to deadlines is important. You must have experience working in a complex system with a range of stakeholders.

You will promote the Population Health Department agenda. This currently covers health equity, prevention, sustainability and anchor work programmes. You do not have to be an expert in any of these areas to apply for this role. But you should have experience of working to tackle health inequalities and be committed to the principles of fairness and social justice.

We may close applications early if we have a large number.

Interviews will take place in November 2024.
