Overview

I am working with a business to source an Occupational Health Advisor with Agriculture / Farming experience to work at their site in Scotland.

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.

Our client is interested in applications from experienced OHA’s, with an OH qualification, and with a wide experience in all aspects of OHA practice, in particular sickness absence and wellbeing. 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 Scotland.
