This is a business-critical appointment, with strong support from senior leadership and genuine long-term opportunities to influence the future direction of Occupational Health across the wider organisation.

For the right person, this offers the chance to help shape, influence and grow the service as the organisation evolves.
The Opportunity
- Working closely with the Head of HR and site leadership team, you'll become the trusted Occupational Health specialist, providing expert advice that supports both employee wellbeing and operational performance.
- You'll combine clinical practice with strategic input, helping to create a proactive Occupational Health service rather than simply responding to health issues as they arise.
- Delivering health surveillance programmes including COSHH, Noise and HAVS.
- Delivering workplace assessments and Drug & Alcohol testing where appropriate.
- Maintaining accurate clinical records and ensuring compliance with Occupational Health legislation.
- Monitoring workforce health trends and recommending preventative initiatives.
- Working collaboratively with HR, managers and Health & Safety to continuously improve Occupational Health provision.
- Contributing to the longer-term development of Occupational Health services as the organisation expands.
About You
- We're looking for an experienced Occupational Health professional who enjoys working autonomously while building strong relationships across the business.
- Registered Nurse with active NMC registration.
- Diploma in Occupational Health Practice (or equivalent Occupational Health qualification).
- Occupational Health experience, ideally within manufacturing, engineering or another industrial environment.
- Experience delivering health surveillance programmes and fitness for work assessments.
- Strong report writing and communication skills.
- An interest in helping develop and improve Occupational Health services over time.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful international organisation that genuinely values Occupational Health and employee wellbeing. The opportunity to shape and influence Occupational Health rather than simply maintain it. Genuine long-term career development as the Occupational Health function expands. Monday to Friday working with no shift work.
