Job Title: Occupational Health Advisor - Home based - Government Contract
Location: Home Based
Salary: Up to £45,000 per annum
Contract Type: Permanent
Hours: Full time or Part time - minimum 3 days per week between Monday - Friday
Right to live and work in the UK is required for this role
Role Summary
This predominantly remote position offers the opportunity to work on a prestigious public sector contract, managing sickness absence cases and delivering high-quality occupational health support from home. The role primarily involves conducting up to eight 45-minute consultations per day, alongside opportunities to diversify your experience through pre-placement assessments. Senior clinicians will also have the opportunity to mentor Trainee OHAs, contribute to our clinical support line, and play an active role in shaping best practice across the wider team.
In addition to supporting the dedicated public sector contract, you will also form part of our wider Occupational Health Advisor team, providing support across a range of client contracts when required. While work on the public sector contract is delivered entirely remotely, there may be occasional opportunities to support other clients through face-to-face assessments. These requirements are infrequent, arranged on an ad hoc basis, and dependent on business need and your geographical location. Where travel is required, this would typically be within approximately one hour of your home location.
This approach provides a varied workload and the opportunity to gain exposure to a diverse client portfolio, while maintaining the flexibility and benefits of a predominantly home-based role. As with all Occupational Health Advisor positions within our business, a degree of travel flexibility forms part of the role, although the vast majority of work will be undertaken remotely.
Within this role, you will also benefit from using Optima Health's AI Scribe tool. This is a sophisticated dictation solution that accurately documents conversations between clinicians and employees within the correct areas of the clinical system, while also drafting initial report content based on the assessment discussion and agreed outcomes. This significantly reduces the administrative burden on clinicians, allowing more time to focus on assessment quality and employee engagement.
We also offer an industry-leading training and development programme to help you progress your career in Occupational Health. Whether you want to pursue further qualifications, gain additional skills, or move into leadership and management, we are dedicated to supporting your growth every step of the way.
