Important: Candidates must already have the unrestricted right to work in Ireland. Visa sponsorship is not available.

We are recruiting a Workplace Health & Ergonomics Advisor to join the Healthy Working team of a large international organisation in Dublin.

This role is focused on helping employees work safely, comfortably and effectively through individual workplace assessments, ergonomic support and reasonable adjustments.

We are particularly interested in candidates from backgrounds such as Occupational Health, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Ergonomics, Workplace Health or a related discipline who have some experience assessing individuals and recommending practical adjustments.

You do not necessarily need to come from a traditional Health & Safety background.

The important part is that you are comfortable working directly with employees, understanding their individual needs and recommending practical workplace solutions.

The role will include:

• Carrying out individual workstation, ergonomic and DSE-related assessments
• Reviewing workstation setup, posture, comfort and working practices
• Supporting employees experiencing pain, discomfort or other workplace health concerns
• Recommending ergonomic equipment, furniture and practical workplace adjustments
• Supporting new and expectant mothers with workplace assessments
• Assisting employees who require reasonable adjustments
• Supporting employees with disabilities, neurodiverse needs or more complex health requirements
• Conducting assessments both face-to-face and remotely where required
• Producing clear assessment reports and documenting recommendations
• Following up with employees to ensure adjustments are working effectively
• Referring or escalating more complex cases to Occupational Health, HR or specialist providers where appropriate
• Working closely with internal Health & Safety, HR, Office Operations and Technology teams
• Supporting wider accessibility and Healthy Working initiatives within the Dublin office

The work also includes assessment follow-up, equipment recommendations and escalation to Occupational Health or specialist support where necessary. DSE and Enablement Healthy Work.

What we are looking for:

You may currently be working in Occupational Health, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Ergonomics, Workplace Health or a related field.

Ideally, you will have experience in some of the following:

• DSE or workstation assessments
• Ergonomic assessments
• Functional or needs assessments
• Workplace adjustments
• Disability or neurodiversity support
• Musculoskeletal assessment
• Occupational Health or rehabilitation
• Employee wellbeing or workplace health

You should be confident communicating with employees who may have sensitive or complex needs and be comfortable making practical recommendations within your professional competence.

Strong written communication and report-writing skills are important, as assessments and recommendations must be documented accurately.

Experience with DSE assessment systems such as Cardinus would be useful, but similar systems or the ability to learn a new platform would also be relevant. The original specification lists corporate DSE assessment experience and familiarity with Cardinus as desirable experience.

The organisation is happy to consider someone who may be earlier in their career, where they already have a strong foundation in assessment, ergonomics, Occupational Health, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy or employee support.
