I’m an epidemiologist working in the UK public health system, and the founder of Public Health Careers Hub.

I built this platform because talented people were being rejected from public health roles they were qualified for, not because they lacked experience, but because their applications didn’t show it clearly. Most career advice tells you to gain more qualifications. In my experience, the real problem is usually evidence: how you demonstrate the responsibility, leadership and impact you already have.

Everything here exists to make public health careers clearer, from free resources to structured application and interview support. The long-term aim is simple: make public health careers easier to navigate than they were for the people who came before you.

What this is: practical guidance built by someone working inside the system, grounded in NHS Agenda for Change band expectations.

What this is not: an official NHS resource, a promise of shortlisting, or generic career coaching.

If you’re applying for public health roles and not getting the results your experience deserves, start here.
