We are an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.The Healthy Lives directorate has an ambitious strategy to improve people’s health and reduce inequalities. To achieve this we are continuing to build our expertise in the economic and social factors that influence people’s health.
Health is our most precious asset. It is shaped by the work we do, the income we earn, the education we receive and the places and communities we live in. The context of the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis and rising demand for services makes improving – or even sustaining – healthy life expectancy a real challenge.
Improving health and reducing inequalities requires a whole-society approach – we can’t do this alone. Our ambition is to create more favourable conditions that enable others to act. We want decision makers across all parts of society to understand and fulfil their potential contribution to building a healthy nation.
One of our key objectives is to improve understanding of how business and investors influence health and catalyse action in the private sector. We do this by providing evidence and recommendations to influence policymakers, employers and businesses. This is supported by funding activity by other organisations to build evidence or take action to improve health and reduce inequalities.
The Policy Fellow is a key role in the Healthy Lives team. They will work closely with the Policy Manager supporting our work to develop the policies and approaches needed to ensure that the activity of employers, business and investors supports good health.
