Our Foundation

We are an independent charitable organisation working to build a healthier UK.

Health is our most precious asset. Good health enables us to live happy, fulfilling lives, fuels our prosperity, and helps build a stronger society.

Yet good health remains out of reach for too many people in the UK and services are struggling to provide access to timely, high-quality care.

It doesn’t have to be like this. Our mission is to help build a healthier UK by:

1. Improving people’s health and reducing inequalities
2. Supporting radical innovation and improvement in health and care services
3. Providing evidence and analysis to improve health and care policy.

We aim for excellence across our work and will achieve this by producing research and analysis, shaping policy and practice, building skills, knowledge, and capacity, and acting as a catalyst for change.  Everyone has a stake and a part to play in improving our health. By working together, we can build a healthier UK.

The PGO team is a sub-team within Healthy Lives that provides programme management, grants, finance and business support to the Healthy Lives team as well as to the Director across the strategic priority. We are a friendly team that prides itself on producing high quality work. There is a strong ethos of supporting each other to achieve this goal.

Working alongside other support staff, the post-holder will provide high quality administrative support to the Healthy Lives Directorate to help them achieve their strategic goals.
