About the Opportunity

Reporting to the Manager, Healthy Communities, the Health Promoter works with consultants and Public Health colleagues to understand population health needs and apply health promotion strategies to improve health and reduce health inequities. The Health Promoter works with community partners across multiple levels to take action to create supportive social, economic, and physical environments that protect and promote health. The Health Promoter uses evidence informed strategies to advocate for healthy public policy and system change through community engagement, coalition building and partnership development. The Health Promoter continually assesses understanding of community health through ongoing and informal means (gathers local intelligence, seeks out experiences and stories) and uses formal community health assessment processes. The Health Promoter uses persuasive communication and strong facilitation skills to build partnerships to advance the work of system/culture change. The Health Promoter will use evidence throughout the planning cycle (assessment, development, implementation and evaluation) to build understanding, motivate and inspire action, among colleagues and community partners.
