Job Opportunity: Health Promotion Strategist in HPCDP

The Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Section (HPCDP) is seeking a full-time Health Promotion Strategist to design innovative social marketing campaigns built to support or accelerate health objectives such as decreasing tobacco use, increasing physical activity, assuring access to healthy foods, and promoting access to chronic disease self-management programs. In this role, you will join a large team of dedicated professionals tackling some of Oregon's greatest health challenges within the state's public health system.

Today, nutritious food, places to play and be active, and smoke-free air are out of reach for too many Oregonians, particularly for people of color and people living with fewer financial resources. As a result, chronic diseases such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer are on the rise. HPCDP is tackling chronic disease prevention with a community-wide approach to help people eat better, move more, live tobacco free, and take care of themselves.

If you are looking to be part of a dynamic, energetic team working to improve the lives of people living in Oregon, please consider this position. The successful applicant will have demonstrated experience in the following areas:

Knowledge of:

  *   Principles and practices of policy, environmental and systems change.
  *   Population-based public health assessment, policy development, intervention, and evaluation.
  *   Principles and practices of public health social marketing campaigns.

Ability to:

  *   Develop and implement promotional and communication plans.
  *   Provide strategic coordination and assistance to local public health authorities and other grantees to develop, implement and enforce local policies addressing the prevention of youth marijuana use, misuse of alcohol and other drugs, chronic disease, tobacco control, and obesity.
  *   Coordinate statewide interagency, multi-disciplinary task forces and work groups on public health initiatives related to alcohol, other drugs (including marijuana), tobacco, obesity and chronic disease prevention for the purposes of policy, rule, or special report development.
  *   Evaluate and recommend program priorities and strategies to achieve state program goals or to meet funding requirements.
  *   Experience in promoting a culturally competent and diverse work environment.
