Full job description

This post provides an opportunity to be part of a consultant led NHS occupational health team, delivering comprehensive occupational health services to NHS Trusts in Gloucestershire as well as a range of private, public and voluntary organisations. The role will be an integral part of providing specialist medical support to Working Well clients in managing the health and wellbeing of their workforce.

This role is offered on a permanent basis. The hours are part-time, 32 hours per week

The appointee will be required primarily to undertake face-to-face, virtual and telephone clinical assessments of workers with the subsequent provision of reports to management. Flexible working arrangements are available. There will also be opportunity to undertake workplace visits, engage in audit and undertake some support and teaching to occupational health nursing staff.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.

We have a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 5000 colleagues working in a diverse range of services over 55 sites and within people’s homes. We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.

Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:

72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.

76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.

81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust’s priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.

This high-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement. However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.
