Job description

Role summary

Contract • Permanent, Full-time (37.5 hours per week) Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm

Location: Royston with ad hoc travel as required. Salary: £26,325 per annum.

What does the role involve?

As an Occupational Health Technician, you'll be part of a team that helps organisations look after the health and wellbeing of their employees. You'll work on-site in Royston, with some travel to client sites, to deliver a variety of health assessments that support early detection of health issues and promote long-term wellbeing at work.

Your day-to-day might include

• Carrying out health surveillance tests such as audiometry (hearing tests)
• Spirometry (lung function tests)
• Skin prick allergy testing
• Vision screening
• Venepuncture (blood draws) – we\'ll give you full training
• Preparing and maintaining equipment to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely
• Identifying results that need follow-up and escalating them to our clinical team
• Supporting health promotion initiatives, like wellness events or wellbeing campaigns
• Helping to improve processes, ensuring we keep our service efficient, effective, and patient-focused
• Completing clinical paperwork and updating health records accurately

No two days are quite the same. You\'ll be working independently much of the time, so being confident, organised and self-motivated is key. Throughout your role, you\'ll be supported by a friendly, experienced clinical team every step of the way.

This role is a great opportunity to get hands-on clinical experience, develop your skills, and build a solid foundation for a career in occupational health.

Who we\'re looking for?

This Role Is Perfect For You If

• Have a degree in Sports Science, Physiology, Health & Exercise Science, or a related field
• Are a great communicator with excellent organisational skills
• Are hands-on, motivated, and excited about improving health outcomes in the workplace
• Have a full clean driving licence and access to a car
• Want to build a career with purpose and progression

Bonus points if you have experience as an EMT, Occupational Health Technician, or in nursing, but it\'s not essential. We provide full training!
