Occupational Health Advisor Birmingham

Occupational Health Adviser – In-House Team

Location: Birmingham, West Midlands

Salary: Up to £55,000 per annum

Contract: Permanent | Full-Time

Working Pattern: Hybrid – initially 4 days onsite per week

Looking for an Occupational Health Role Where You Can Make a Real Difference?

OH Medical is recruiting an Occupational Health Adviser to join an established in-house Occupational Health and Wellbeing team within a large, safety-critical organisation in Birmingham.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified nurse looking to develop their career in Occupational Health, with a salary of up to £55,000, excellent benefits and genuine opportunities for professional development and progression.

An SCPHN qualification is not essential for this position, making it an excellent opportunity for a nurse with relevant Occupational Health experience who is looking to take the next step in their career.

Rather than simply managing referrals, you'll become a trusted Occupational Health partner to your allocated area of the business, building relationships with employees and managers and providing practical, proactive advice that makes a difference.

You'll be joining a supportive team that values clinical wellbeing, collaboration and a healthy work-life balance.

The Role

Working as part of an established in-house team, your responsibilities will include:

• Managing Occupational Health referrals and providing clear, practical clinical advice.

• Supporting employees and managers with workplace adjustments, fitness for work and return-to-work planning.

• Building strong relationships with your allocated business area and becoming a trusted point of contact.

• Managing your own diary and workload, with additional appointments allocated through a triage process.

• Providing ongoing support to employees and managers, taking a proactive approach to workplace health and wellbeing.

• Working collaboratively with colleagues and participating in clinical supervision and professional development.

• Maintaining accurate and confidential clinical records in line with professional and data protection requirements.

The role is primarily focused on case management and workplace health advice, with pre-employment assessments and routine health surveillance currently delivered by external providers.

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from nurses who are passionate about Occupational Health and enjoy building lasting relationships within the organisations they support.

Essential:

• Registered Nurse with current NMC registration.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• Ability to work independently, manage your own workload and take ownership of your responsibilities.

• A proactive, supportive and collaborative approach to Occupational Health.

• Willingness to work onsite in Birmingham as required.

Desirable:

• Previous Occupational Health experience, particularly case management and management referrals.

• An Occupational Health qualification, including SCPHN, although this is not essential for this developing OHA position.

• Experience working within a large organisation or safety-critical environment.

This position would particularly suit an experienced nurse looking to further develop their Occupational Health career within a supportive in-house environment.

Working Arrangements

The position is full-time and based in Birmingham, working across the organisation's local sites.

Initially, you'll be expected onsite four days per week, with the potential to move towards three days onsite and two days working remotely in the future.

There is flexibility around working hours, recognising the importance of balancing operational requirements with individual needs.

A structured three-month induction will help you settle into the business, understand your allocated area and build relationships with key stakeholders.

You'll also benefit from regular clinical supervision, including access to psychological and mental health support, within a team that recognises the importance of looking after its own clinicians.

Salary & Benefits

Alongside a salary of up to £55,000 per annum, depending on experience, you'll enjoy an excellent benefits package, including:

• Final salary pension scheme.

• Discounted rail travel for you and eligible family members.

• First-class rail travel entitlement.

• Retail discounts and employee savings portal.

• Option to purchase up to five additional days of annual leave.

• Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities.

• Supportive clinical supervision and wellbeing support.

• Flexible working arrangements.

Why Join This Team?

This isn't a role where you'll simply work through a list of referrals.

You'll have the opportunity to become part of the business, understand the people you support and develop meaningful working relationships that allow you to make a genuine impact on employee health and wellbeing.

The team is looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys being involved in the wider business and wants to contribute to a positive, supportive Occupational Health culture.

With opportunities to develop your clinical skills, a supportive team around you and excellent benefits, this is a fantastic opportunity to build a long-term career in Occupational Health.

If you're looking for an in-house Occupational Health position offering stability, development, excellent benefits and the opportunity to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
