Slaintecare Local Development Officer
About Fingal County Council Fingal is a highly attractive place to live, work, visit and do business. It comprises a geographical area of 450 sq.km stretching from Balbriggan in the north, to Blanchardstown in the west and to Howth in the east. The area is defined by the diversity of its landscape and settlement patterns with rural, urban and suburban locations all rolled into one county. There is 88kms of coastline, three large protected estuaries and salt marsh habitats and 13 major beaches. Fingal County Council is one of the county’s major local employers and currently employs approximately 1,600 staff. The Council is mandated to deliver a diverse range of functions and services which can be broadly described under the headings of the provision of physical and social infrastructure, housing, economic and tourism development, community development, recreation and amenity services and the management of the planning and environmental regulatory framework. The role of the County Council as provided for in law is to represent, lead and serve the communities of Fingal. 1. Background The Sláintecare Healthy Communities Programme is a national initiative funded and led by Sláintecare and Healthy Ireland within the Department of Health. Delivered in partnership with national and local agencies, the programme aims to improve the long-term health and wellbeing of people living in Ireland’s most disadvantaged communities. The programme targets areas where higher levels of health risk and poorer health outcomes are linked to social and economic disadvantage. Its purpose is to deliver targeted, community-based initiatives that address these challenges and promote sustainable improvements in health and wellbeing for people of all ages.

Each programme area has a dedicated Local Development Officer (Administrative Officer grade), working across 16 Local Authorities, responsible for supporting programme delivery locally. The Local Development Officer works with local communities, community groups, statutory agencies, and strategic partners to ensure communities are sustainable places to live, where everyone has access to the conditions necessary for good health. The role focuses on addressing the wider determinants of health, raising awareness of how these factors influence wellbeing, and enabling multi-agency collaboration to tackle health inequalities.
