Whether you’re an experienced Director or a Consultant ready for your first DPH role, you’ll bring the energy and vision needed to influence and shape the health system both inside and outside the council.

You must be a registered public health specialist (GMC, GDC, or UKPHR) passionate about driving progress and improving outcomes for Luton’s diverse communities.
