Welcome to Salford

Director of Public Heath

Dear Candidate

Thank you for considering joining our Salford team.  Salford as a city has changed dramatically in recent years and now is Salford’s time. Join us as our city continues to grow. More people than ever are choosing Salford as a place to live, work, invest and visit and we really are transforming into a modern, global city.

We know that we will have 40,000 new jobs and 40,000 new homes by 2040 and we already have one of the youngest and fastest growing populations in Greater Manchester.  Salford is the home of MediaCityUK and the BBC and also the site of the 5^th National RHS garden, Bridgewater. Nevertheless, we are a city of contrasts with some of the most deprived wards in the country, and we are absolutely committed to making sure that all our residents are able to benefit from growth as we better connect our people and place.
