Join us at the forefront of public health, serving two London communities with unique challenges and opportunities
Hackney
Hackney boasts a young population with a rich cultural tapestry, including large Turkish, Black, and Charedi Jewish communities. Help us ensure this diverse population thrives. The borough’s population is projected to hit 310,000 by 2028. Be part of a team making a real difference in a growing and evolving community. While life expectancy is rising (78.9 years for men, 82.8 years for women), male life expectancy lags behind London and national averages. Contribute to our efforts in closing this gap and promoting health equity.
The City of London
The City itself has a small resident population of 8,700, but over 415,000 people commute and work in its bustling “Square Mile” daily. Help us safeguard the health of this dynamic working population, a vital engine of the UK economy. The City is a unique blend of historic sites and modern businesses. Be part of a team that develops innovative public health solutions for a one-of-a-kind urban environment. While generally less deprived than other London boroughs, the City still has areas facing significant challenges. Use your skills to make a tangible difference in these communities.
