Before submitting your application, we recommend you read the job description. Our Life at Surrey handbook provides insights of the culture at Surrey and how as a valued employee, you can help shape our Council.

THIS ROLE HAS A STARTING SALARY OF £40,296 PER ANNUM, BASED ON A 36-HOUR WORKING WEEK.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract/ secondment opportunity.
Are you passionate about the role of data in public health and healthcare decision-making? Would you be motivated by the thought of leading analysis for important health needs assessments and pushing forward data science approaches? Can you get behind our mission to reduce health inequalities for the residents of Surrey ensuring that no one is left behind? If so, this role opportunity could be your next move.
We are hiring a new Public Health Analyst to join our fantastic Public Health Intelligence and Insight Team. The team is based in Woodhatch, Reigate. However, we care about how you work rather than where you work and offer flexible working and a hybrid approach, with team members working from home or at a Council office more convenient to them for most of the week.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Public Health Intelligence and Insight Team provides crucial data and insights that commissioners need to drive targeted improvements in population health and to tackle health inequalities effectively.
You will play a key part in analysing complex data sets, identifying key public health trends or outliers within these data sets. Typically structured within needs assessments, your analyses will explore a variety of geographical areas, population groups, and health and wellbeing issues, offering insights that guide our strategic decisions. You will provide vital support to Surrey’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNA) assessing the current and future health and care needs for the Surrey system.
You will support the wider intelligence team with the completion of ad-hoc requests. This will include in many cases working with the requester to refine research questions to enable insightful products, as well as completing the analysis. This requires a specialist understanding of public health data; where to access datasets, how to interpret complex public health datasets, and how to explain these results to the wider team to enable commissioning of services.
Whilst our focus is on public health, we value diversity in professional backgrounds. You don’t need to have a background in public health to apply, your transferable skills from other areas within the health and care system or from healthcare analytics could offer invaluable perspectives to our team.
