The Mayor of London is setting up London’s new Child Obesity Taskforce which is looking to get to grips with the child obesity epidemic in London, specifically the ever-increasing inequality that exists between children from the least and most deprived parts of the city. If the Taskforce is going to have impact and achieve its aims it will need a high-functioning and well-organised Secretariat to ensure it delivers for London.
The role of London’s Child Obesity Taskforce (LCOTF) Secretariat Officer is to ensure the effective running and administration of the Taskforce Secretariat. The Secretariat Officer will oversee all administrative and logistical arrangements for the Taskforce, working closely with the Mayor of London, Public Health England, the Association of Directors of Public Health, the Association of Directors of Children’s Services and the Guys and St Thomas Charity to deliver immediate and longer term strategic objectives and ensure the maximum impact and outcomes from the LCOTF.
This is a wide and varied role although key responsibilities for this role include administrative duties, supporting the Chair, Vice Chair and members of the Taskforce with meetings, event organising, partnership working with key internal and external stakeholders and project management particularly in the development and delivery of the Action Plan for the Taskforce.
