The Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH) is a Charity and Company Limited by guarantee and is the representative body for Directors of Public Health (DPH) in the UK.

It seeks to improve and protect the health of the population through collating and presenting the views of DsPH; advising on public health policy and legislation at a local, regional, national and international level; facilitating a support network for DsPH; and providing opportunities for DsPH to develop professional practice.

The Association has a rich heritage, its origins dating back more than 160 years. It is a collaborative organisation working in partnership with others to maximise the voice for public health.

The Association is now seeking to appoint an experienced PA / Team Coordinator.

The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring a coherent programme of meetings for both our CEO and the Association’s President, whilst supporting the Head of Corporate Affairs in the day-to-day administration of the financial and governance requirements of the organisation. In addition you will have the opportunity to take an active role across the whole team, organising meetings, sourcing venues, and will have the opportunity to attend our range of workshops and masterclasses through providing administrative support.

The role requires excellent organisational and prioritisation skills, an ability to react positively to changing circumstances, often at short notice, and an ability to forge strong working relationships both internally and with external partners.

The Association has offices in central London, but is currently operating a hybrid working model so welcomes candidates from across the UK, though attendance at ‘in person’ ADPH team meetings will be expected. Further details can be requested ahead of your application by contacting Mark Hamblett.

To be considered for the role all applicants must provide a written statement outlining why they feel they would be suitable for the role, and as we intend to interview potential candidates throughout the term of the recruitment process we reserve the right to end it ahead of the stated closing date.
