Overview

I am working with a business to source an Occupational Health Advisor with Academia / Education experience to work at their site in Northamptonshire. The role involves 60% case management and 40% wellbeing. This is a newly created role so you will be tasked with setting up a brand-new wellbeing programme for the business. You will therefore need to be a dynamic worker with the capacity to manage both aspects of the role.

You must have a UK driving licence and your own car. It would be beneficial to be on Part 3 of the register but not essential. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced, qualified OHA, to take on a new challenge, and join a large and well-respected business in Northamptonshire.
