Are you a Registered General Nurse with a qualification in Occupational Health (Degree or Diploma)?

Are you seeking part-time hours with flexibility and a strong work-life balance?

Do you want to work in a role that truly makes a difference—supporting employee wellbeing through expert case management and proactive health promotion?

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Occupational Health Adviser to join our high-performing nurse-led team.

• Collaborate with managers and stakeholders to ensure occupational health advice is practical, effective, and aligned with organisational goals.
• You’ll be part of a team that values quality over quantity—our OHAs typically manage no more than 5 cases per day, allowing time for thoughtful, impactful work.

This post is currently eligible for a Market Supplement of £2600 per annum (pro rata for part time staff) rounded to the nearest £100. The supplement will be payable in the form of a monthly allowance. It is a temporary allowance which will be subject to review but not to the inflationary uplift resulting from the national pay award.
