Lancashire Sexual Health Leader Job
posted: 30/06/2009
Lancashire PCT Chief Executives, Directors of Public Health and the Public Health Network are looking to appoint a Sexual Health leader to work for the network across the pan-Lancashire area (this means the shire county of Lancashire, along with the two unitary districts of Blackpool, and Blackburn with Darwen).
On this interactive health map it is the whole area, in lighter green, centred on Preston, and includes Lancaster.
The post holder will be Programme Manager for Sexual Health and responsible for developing and implementing the Network's sexual health strategy. Sexual health is a significant public health priority in England. There is the background of rising HIV and STI infections and capacity issues which mean services are not yet able to meet demand, and there is a strong national policy imperative driving change and improvement in sexual health services.
The Network aims to develop outcome measures, ensure quality standards and strive for excellence and modernisation in sexual health service provision to improve the sexual health of the population of pan-Lancashire whilst achieving organisational targets.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop and lead a programme combining varied work in the field of sexual health with the principles and values of health improvement and reducing health inequalities.
The Lancashire Public Health Network is a forward-looking, dynamic organisation and the post-holder will be a key player in engaging our stakeholders in reducing health inequalities and improving health. It is a collaboration between the Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in Lancashire, Blackpool, and Blackburn with Darwen.
