DML Health Promotion And Improvement Officer
Please Note: Location of post There are 2 permanent & specified purpose whole-time vacancies available in Dublin and Midlands to be located in Dublin South West. A panel may be formed as a result of this campaign for Health Promotion and Improvement Officer within Dublin and Midlands from which current and future, permanent and specified purpose vacancies of full or part-time duration may be filled. Informal enquiries We welcome enquiries about the role. Karen Heavey, Health Promotion & Improvement Manager, Health Service Executive, Oak House Millennium Park, Naas, Co Kildare W91 KDC2. Karen.heavey@hse.ie 086 3801101 for further information. Details of service Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over the determinants of health and thereby improve their health and wellbeing. Health promotion aims to do this by building healthy public policy; creating supportive environments; strengthening community actions; developing personal skills and reorienting health services. Health Promotion and Improvement Officers will act as enablers, negotiators, and advocates to build and leverage capacity within the HSE and with external stakeholders to ensure that the best use is made of all available resources to improve the health and wellbeing of the population. The work of Health Promotion and Improvement is focused on: · Building capacity of health services to support people to stay healthy and well through delivery of health promotion and improvement training programmes · Providing knowledge, expertise and support to ensure our health service and models of care deliver health and wellbeing gains for the population and particularly for those most at risk · Reducing onset of chronic disease and supporting those with chronic conditions to live better through the provision of smoking cessation services and dietetic services · Developing and promoting cross-sectoral partnerships and collaborative practice to advance health promotion initiatives and deliver improved health outcomes across key target populations · Supporting staff to enjoy improved health and wellbeing. Health Promotion & Improvement delivers services, under the remit of the Department of Public Health, to both the CHA areas and Hospital Groups which fall within the Dublin and Midland’s. It has strong links and strategic input from National Health and Wellbeing Office. The work of Health Promotion and Improvement (HP&I) is defined and articulated through a range of government policy documents that have been translated into HSE Implementation Plans for delivery. Healthy Ireland (HI) Framework (2013) is the overarching policy document. Several policies and strategies have been published to progress specific priority areas including National Sexual Health Strategy, National HSE Mental Health Promotion Plan Stronger Together, National Physical Activity Plan, A Healthy Weight for Ireland - Obesity Policy and Action Plan, Tobacco Free Ireland, the National Substance Misuse Strategy, Wellbeing Policy Statement and Framework for Practice. Sláintecare sets out the need to develop community services ensuring integration of service across health and social care services. This involves a population health planning approach and Community Health Areas (CHAs) will be further developed providing these services to a population of 50,000 approx. The CHAs will also be complimented by community specialist teams (hubs) across a population of approximately 150,000 for those that have more complex needs. Through Enhanced Community Care and Sláintecare health promotion and improvement will be embedded at this level, delivering services to the population at community level in the region. The management of health conditions and population health and wellbeing are core components in the CHA/ Community Specialist Team Hub models to ensure that communities are supported to stay well by assisting individuals to live well and live healthier lifestyles. The reform programme will involve building the capacity for Health Promotion & and Improvement officers and delivering services to the population at community network level within the region. Each HSE Health Region is tasked with population specific planning, resourcing and delivery of health and social care services for the needs of its unique population. This will result in improved accountability and governance in terms of finance and performance, while also bringing decision-making closer to the frontline. Health Regions will enable and empower staff to provide services that are: · Integrated, locally planned and delivered · Easier to access and navigate · Available closer to home Health Regions are geographically-based units with clearly defined populations. They align community and hospital services within specific areas. The HSE will retain a strong but leaner central organisation, with more service provision developed at a local level. The HSE Dublin and Midlands Region will manage and deliver all public health and social care services in this location.
