Project Context:
The Jewish Health Equity Partnership ("JHEP") is a joint project of the Board of Deputies of British
Jews and the London Jewish Forum (LJF), to tackle health inequalities impacting the Jewish
community. JHEP is a partner of the Health Inequities Partnership, a National Lottery Community
Fund ("NLCF") project to tackle health inequalities caused by structural racism and discrimination.
JHEP will build systems partnerships within the Jewish community; undertake advocacy across
the health sector; deliver training; commission research; embed sustainability, and undertake
collective work within the Health Inequities Partnership. The Programme Director will work with
a professional team, lay leadership and communal partners to deliver these workstreams.
Purpose of the role
To lead delivery of the Jewish Health Equity Partnership Programme, delivering systems
partnerships within the Jewish community, influencing policy and practice across the health
sector, and ensuring successful delivery of the programme's workstreams in collaboration with
partners. The Programme Director will lead JHEP's operational relationships with partners across
the Jewish community and the health sector, building relationships to bring about structural
change.

stakeholder management ideally within the health sector. This would ideally include familiarity
with NHS, ICBs, NHS providers, public health, commissioning, workforce and/or health equity
settings, together with a strong understanding of how antisemitism and structural discrimination
affect Jewish communities and wider health outcomes.
