Your Impact in this Position

From day one, you will help clients manage workplace health risks, support employees with practical, evidence-based advice and ensure occupational health activity is delivered in line with relevant legislation.

As you build relationships across the Midlands, you will contribute to preventative health strategies, strengthen service delivery and support continuous improvement. You will join a collaborative environment built on trust, respect and shared success, with ongoing support for professional development and maintaining NMC registration.

Skills, Qualifications and Experience

You will be a Registered General Nurse with current NMC registration and a post-registration qualification in Occupational Health at certificate, diploma or degree level.
