I commenced my role in Wolverhampton as a Research Assistant in Public Health in 2016. I returned back to Wolverhampton working for the Commissioning Team on Adult Social Care, Children and Young People and Public Health. Since then, I returned back to Public Health within my current role. Wolverhampton has great development opportunities and has enabled me to complete my Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology with ongoing support from colleagues. I am a qualified Health Psychologist and a great deal of my work involves applying behavioural science to our public health and wider council priorities. I enjoy our matrix working which enables us to work with colleagues from all over the council. With my huge passion for workplace health and wellbeing, I feel privileged to work for an organisation that takes employee health and wellbeing so seriously and enables us to develop.
