Public Health Careers

Public Health at Nottingham City Council plays a vital role in shaping a healthier city. Our work spans prevention, health improvement, and protecting the wellbeing of residents, with a strong focus on reducing inequalities. Working in Public Health offers the opportunity to influence change, work in partnership, and deliver meaningful outcomes for communities across Nottingham.

About the team

Nottingham’s Public Health Team consists of 53 brilliant individuals, working together to be even more brilliant. The team currently includes five thematic portfolios led by Consultants in Public Health and one enabling portfolio (that makes it all work).

Common job roles across the portfolios provide a clear structure, enabling people to join as an apprentice (we were delighted to welcome our first two – Destiny and Nicole – earlier this year) and work towards being our future Director, with clear development support.

This means we can facilitate team members working in different portfolios over time, broadening their experience to support career progression and job satisfaction.

Our team mission is to add public health value to every interaction, so we are proactive about professional development, reflective practice and seeking feedback.
