Public Health at Dorset Council is a great place to work. We are a small team within the Public health and Prevention Directorate, passionate about making a difference to population health across Dorset. Our workplace is friendly, and we support one another. Public health work is challenging and sometimes difficult, often involving complex systems; but, by working with partners, we're doing some great work and, of course, we want to do more.
