We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Occupational Health Advisor to join a friendly and growing team. You will work alongside a team of experienced OHAs, delivering a varied and comprehensive range of Occupational Health services. The role is primarily office/site based, with occasional visits to customer sites when required.
With over 200 clients across a wide range of industries, this is an excellent opportunity for an OHA looking for a varied and interesting role within a supportive team environment. Some clients include organisations across aerospace, education, schools, colleges, universities, marine, local authorities, healthcare, offices and many other sectors.
Key Responsibilities
As an Occupational Health Advisor, you will be responsible for delivering a full range of Occupational Health services, including:

- Fitness-for-work assessments
- DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessments
- Statutory health surveillance

- Strong clinical and communication skills
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Good IT skills and confidence using computer-based systems
- Willingness to occasionally visit customer sites
A Specialist Qualification in Occupational Health is desirable. However, we would consider an experienced OHA with 5–10 years' Occupational Health experience who does not hold a formal OH qualification.
All clinical work is completed using our Occupational Health software system. You should therefore be confident using IT and computer-based clinical systems.
