You will work with a wide range of organisations across the UK, delivering occupational health and health surveillance services to employees in different workplaces and industries. This is a field-based role, so you should be comfortable travelling extensively across the UK and staying away from home for up to 4 nights per week, Monday to Friday. Don't worry about the logistics as our dedicated bookings team arranges and pays for your hotel accommodation, while you will be provided with a fully maintained and insured company car for both business and personal use.
