Summary
Here at Manchester City Council, we are committed to tackling the unfair inequalities in health between different communities. Making Manchester Fairer (MMF) aims to address the difference in good health through taking action on the root causes of poor health, in areas such as education, housing, employment and transport.
One of the most significant themes is to reduce poverty and debt, which is a major driver of poor health, and for this reason the Anti-Poverty Strategy for Manchester is an integral programme to the work of MMF. MMF also specifically looks at how we tackle racism as a significant factor in people’s health and life chances, and how we involve local people and communities in the MMF approach and programme.
Working within Public Health and in collaboration with colleagues across the organisation, the role-holder will lead the delivery and implementation of the Anti-Poverty Strategy.
