Now recruiting: Second cohort of aspiring public health directors

This programme, delivered in partnership with Public Health England, is for those who have been working at a senior level for at least 2 years and who have the ability and desire to be a Director of Public Health (or work at Director level in their own profession) within 3 years of the end of the programme.

The Health Services Management Centre is delighted to be recruiting to Cohort 2 of the national and highly regarded programme for those who aspire to director-level posts in public health across the UK.

The programme uses the University of Birmingham's leading-edge research on the 21st Century Public Servant to help participants explore what it means and what it takes to be a successful Director of Public Health in the early 21st Century.

Cohort 1 participants have found the programme highly beneficial, as well as stretching. Two have already taken up Director-level roles before the programme has reached its end.

Cohort 2 begins in September 2018 and runs to May 2019. If you are interested in applying, or have a member of staff that you believe would benefit from attending, please view our website for full details and a programme brochure. We look forward to hearing from you.

Deadline for expressions of interest is Friday 6 July.
