Information about UK Public Health Register (UKPHR)

UKPHR is a private company limited by guarantee and a registered Charity.

Its register, accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under a statutory scheme, is the definitive indicator of competence of public health specialists and practitioners. The register is available for public inspection and registration is the recognised yardstick of safe, competent practice in the UK.

UKPHR was established in 2003 as a voluntary register for multidisciplinary public health Specialists. It has since developed to be the register of Specialty Registrars and public health Practitioners also.

The governance and operational structure of UKPHR were streamlined in 2013 with the formation of a new, smaller Board. All Board members are directors of the Company and trustees of the charity.

UKPHR’s primary objective is to protect the public by ensuring that only competent public health professionals are registered (quality assurance).

We aim to ensure that registrants maintain high standards of practice after achieving registration, for example through our CPD requirements and our revalidation processes (quality maintenance and enhancement).

Registration is available to public health specialists, to Specialty Registrars, and to public health practitioners working at or above Level 5 (autonomous practice) of the original Public Health Skills & Knowledge Framework.

We have changed the retrospective portfolio assessment route to registration for specialists.

We have reviewed our standards for practitioner registration, partly in response to the revision of the Public Health Skills & Knowledge Framework in 2016.

We require revalidation ofall specialist registrants every 5 years and we will extend this to practitioner registrants as well in 2021.

Registrants work across all the domains of public health, including health improvement, public health healthcare services, health protection, data management and analysis, intelligence and academia.

The Board’s VISION for UKPHR is:

We will protect the public and promote continuous improvement in public health practice by providing a regulatory home for the UK’s public health workforce and assuring registrants’ competence.

The Board’s MISSION is:

To be a self-sustaining and effective regulator for the public health workforce.

Reporting to: Director of Strategy and Innovation

The Youth Futures Foundation is a new, independent, not for profit organisation set up to tackle youth unemployment with a £90million endowment from the Reclaim Fund. We are looking for bold and impactful ways to help young people find and keep good jobs. There are over 750,000 young people not in education or employment in the UK. Young people are twice as likely to be unemployed than older adults in the labour market and BAME and disadvantaged young people disproportionately bear the brunt of it.

We are building an ‘empowerment foundation’ to identify practical solutions that work in a complex world yet are simple and cost effective enough to roll out across multiple locations, to reach as many young people as possible. To do this, we are now building our own inspiring team to help us achieve our vision.

As our Head of Policy you will work closely with the Director of Strategy & Innovation, the Head of Strategy, and other colleagues to support and contribute to YFF’s evidence-based policy work by the development and delivery of a cutting-edge policy agenda and stakeholder outreach strategy. You will identify and seize opportunities for influencing public policy at a national, local and regional level. You will be working in partnership with young people, employers, funders and government to collectively develop and champion effective approaches to bring about transformational change.

This is an exciting opportunity for an empowering leader to be at the core of the creation and delivery of the future-looking big ideas that will most transform youth employment over the next 10 years.

You will possess significant experience in a senior policy role in a relevant organisation, such as youth opportunities, employment support or a relevant government department with a demonstrable understanding of current key debates and priorities in the youth employment space. With the ability to remain politically neutral, you will have gained a deep understanding of the UK political environment and the operation of government in a policy or influencing role within a complex multi-stakeholder environment. You will also possess strong organisational, project management, report writing and influencing skills and given our collaborative approach, we are looking for a track record of solutions-oriented, convening and partnership working.

We are especially interested in hearing from individuals who are Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background, and those who have lived experience that reflects the lives of the young people we are seeking to support. Whatever your background, if you have a personal mission that aligns with ours, and the ability to engage equally well with young people sat on the floor of a community centre as you do with business and government leaders in imposing board rooms, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
