Consultants Wanted

The essential element of a successful PHPS program is a core group of public health professionals willing to provide surge staffing to support temporary needs in Ohio public health. As staff leave public health employment to retire or pursue other roles, it is the perfect time to enroll as a consultant. Some contracts can be done remotely, others may offer evening or weekend support.

Still other roles are grant-funded and require part-time time or short-term full-time assistance - a perfect match for a retiree or someone looking for flexible work options. Hospital health care workers and others who have left public health as a profession can still participate in fulfilling public health work through PHPS. All disciplines are needed:

Clinical Staff
Health Educators
Administrative Support
Contract Tracers
Epidemiologists
Grant writers/Administrators
Accreditation Specialists
Fiscal Office Support
Leadership Roles
