Public health professionals

We need experienced public health professionals to help improve the health of some of the poorest communities in the world.

Roles generally range from one to two years, but we have occasional short-term roles for six months. You’ll have a public health qualification, with or without a clinical background, and at least three years’ relevant experience (five years for short-term roles).

What you’ll be doing

Your responsibilities will depend upon the particular placement. You could be working to train colleagues in epidemiological research, developing behavioural-change communications strategies or improving the management of preventative health services.
