Layla McCay
ADPH Chief Executive
ADPH Wales Programme Manager
We are looking for a proactive and politically aware professional with a strong interest in public health and reducing health inequalities to join our friendly and supportive team. You will build and develop partnerships, manage projects involving multiple partners, and work with members, stakeholders, and decision makers to advance shared objectives. Bringing policy or public affairs experience and sound judgement, the successful candidate will be required to produce clear, accurate written materials for a range of audiences, from briefings and reports to policy statements and correspondence.
The role requires an excellent communicator and relationship-builder, confident representing the organisation externally and facilitating collaboration. Strong organisation and prioritisation skills are essential, along with the ability to manage a varied work programme, adapt to changing circumstances and deliver to deadlines.
The role is being advertised as being Hybrid working, meaning there is the option to work in the offices of one of the Welsh Health Boards, from home or a combination of the two. The post holder will be expected to attend regular meetings across Wales in person together with occasional meetings in London, and as such you will be comfortable working independently and as part of a team, and willing to work flexibly.
