An exciting opportunity to begin a career in Public Health.

The Association of Directors of Public Health (UK) is looking to appoint to the full-time, permanent position of Project Administrator.

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 successful candidate will be responsible for the administration, delivery and evaluation of the Association’s events, including membership workshops and masterclasses, and arranging and minuting meetings with members and key stakeholders, all to tight deadlines. They will therefore be required to be pro-active, with exceptional organisational and prioritisation skills, a keen attention to detail, and preferably have experience of working independently in an administrative role.

The role’s responsibilities will also include the preparation and dissemination of the Association’s newsletters and induction of new members and as such will require the accurate maintenance of records and regular correspondence both internally across the teams and externally with members. Candidates are therefore required to have a strong background in Microsoft Office and be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills.

Working across the organisation the role will serve as an excellent introduction to the work of the Association and its members, and the wider role of Public Health in society. Consequently, both candidate and Association will benefit from an enthusiasm for professional development, flexibility and a willingness to learn.

As well as a supportive and committed team the successful candidate will benefit from regular contact with our membership, attendance at Policy Workshops and Masterclasses and have opportunities to shadow Public Health leaders to gain experience of the role of the Director of Public Health.

The Association currently operates a ‘hybrid working’ model and candidates from across the UK are welcomed, but there will be regular team meetings and specific events in London during the year which will require attendance in person. If required further details can be obtained prior to any application by contacting the Association as below.  

The closing date for applications is 9.00 a.m. November 25th but we will interview suitable candidates as we receive their application so would urge those interested to apply as soon as possible.

Please note to be considered for this role we do require a covering letter outlining why you are suitable for the role alongside your CV.

The successful candidate will be required to provide evidence they are eligible to work in the UK.
