Community Public Health Associate
Role summary

The Community Public Health Associate supports local public-health programmes, health promotion, prevention initiatives and community engagement across Oxfordshire. Typical requirements include relevant experience in public health, community development, healthcare, education or social care; good communication and organisational skills; confidence working with diverse communities; accurate record keeping; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Candidates are expected to promote health inequalities reduction, build relationships with partner organisations, deliver or support outreach activities, handle sensitive information appropriately and follow NHS policies on safeguarding, equality, confidentiality and infection prevention. A relevant qualification or equivalent practical experience, along with a commitment to inclusive, evidence-based community services, is likely to be valued.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
