About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

The role sits within the London Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH London), which is hosted by Haringey Council. ADPH London represents Directors of Public Health (DsPH) in London’s 32 local authorities and the City of London, supporting them to improve and protect the health of local populations.
Through ADPH London, DsPH work together to address public health issues that can either only be successfully tackled on a pan-London basis, and/or that enhance the ability of boroughs to meet their responsibilities locally. e.g., delivering pan-London public health programmes and campaigns,  sharing of best practice and improving coordination of related work.

The Programme Operations Manager at ADPH London plays a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation and success of the programme. This position involves providing high-quality business and operational support to the ADPH London team, managing the programme’s business plan and risk register, and leading on information sharing and communications to engage members and stakeholders effectively. The Programme Operations Manager also supports financial management, oversees the publication of newsletters, maintains the ADPHL website, and manages social media accounts.
