Sutton (On-Site)
Permanent, Full time
£92,223 - £112,283 (£117,679 unconsolidated maximum)
About the Borough :
In Sutton, there is much for us to be proud of both as a council and as a borough. This includes high levels of resident satisfaction, the quality of our services, our success in addressing our financial challenges to date, the way that we involve and engage with residents on key issues facing the borough, and the enthusiastic and motivated staff that we employ.
Looking ahead, there are plans for the delivery of new homes and new schools and the London Cancer Hub is being developed, while the Council is also seen as a driving force within the South London Partnership of five outer south west London boroughs focused on strategic growth, regeneration and investment.
All of this demonstrates a good track record and an authority that is ambitious and set to deliver more improvements for the borough. We've set out our vision for the future of Sutton in our corporate plan - Ambitious for Sutton. This strategic plan will shape the outcomes we achieve, the services we provide, and the impact we have on residents, to make Sutton a great place to live, work and raise a family.
Situated in Zone 5, Sutton is less than 30 minutes by train from central London, and south and south west London are easily accessible by public transport. There are 10 train stations which serve key neighbourhoods within the borough providing direct connections to London Victoria, London Bridge, London Blackfriars and St Pancras International. Sutton also has direct rail connections with Epsom, Dorking, Guildford and Horsham, as well as Wimbledon for an interchange with the London Underground and West Croydon for the London Overground. There's also an extensive road network which provides close and easy access to the M25 and M23.
About the Service and Team : The Public Health team in Sutton is a busy and dynamic team. We are forward-looking with ambitions to significantly improve the health and wellbeing of our borough's population and reduce health inequalities. Good health matters to individuals and society but we don't all have the same opportunities to live healthy lives. We believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities for good health. Health inequalities arise because of the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These conditions influence people's opportunities for good health and shape their mental health, physical health and wellbeing. Evidence shows that people living in our most deprived areas face the worst health inequalities in relation to health access, experiences and outcomes.
