Join Our Team as an Occupational Health Advisor at Bakkavor - A Role that Makes a Difference

At Bakkavor, we’re seeking an Occupational Health Advisor to lead our Highbridge and Devizes site's Occupational Health & Wellbeing Service, helping to improve the health, safety, and wellbeing of our colleagues.

Occupational Health plays a critical role in supporting the long-term health of employees, ensuring workplaces are safe and conducive to physical and mental wellbeing. As an Occupational Health Advisor, you will be at the forefront of this effort—championing preventative care, managing health surveillance, and guiding colleagues through their return to work after illness or injury.

In this role, you’ll have the chance to directly influence the overall culture of wellbeing at Bakkavor by providing expert advice on reducing workplace risks, supporting mental health initiatives, and creating a healthier environment for all. Whether it’s through managing health surveillance programs, advising on fitness for work, or collaborating with key stakeholders to develop wellness strategies, your work will have a tangible impact on the lives of hundreds of colleagues.

Occupational Health is more than just compliance with regulations—it’s about fostering an environment where people feel supported, valued, and able to perform their best. You’ll be helping to shape a healthier workplace, improving not only attendance and productivity but also the overall quality of life for our employees.

Managing health surveillance and ensuring compliance with Health & Safety legislation.

-Leading and developing the Occupational Health Technicians at your site.

-Monitor and analyse health trends to drive proactive wellbeing initiatives.

This includes conducting health assessments, promoting health awareness, ensuring regulatory compliance, and fostering a healthy workplace.

-Lead health promotion campaigns and network with other Occupational Health Advisors to stay ahead of trends.

-Contribute to Wellbeing Month initiatives focused on mental, physical, and financial health.

-Contribute to ongoing projects aimed at streamlining workflows, transitioning from paper-based to electronic systems, and improving communication and branding.

As an Occupational Health professional, your experience, skills, and qualifications will be key in shaping the future of workplace health and wellbeing at Bakkavor. We're looking for someone with a passion for employee welfare and a strong foundation in occupational health practices. Nursing Qualification (EN/RGN): Your nursing background provides a solid foundation in medical knowledge and patient care, enabling you to confidently assess and manage the health needs of employees.

-Formal Occupational Health Qualification (Level 6 Diploma/Degree): With a specialised qualification in Occupational Health, you are equipped to manage a range of workplace health challenges. Your training will enable you to deliver tailored health assessments, manage workplace risks, and ensure compliance with relevant Health & Safety legislation.

-Experience in Occupational Health Practice (minimum 18 months): Your practical experience means you're familiar with the unique demands of occupational health, from conducting health surveillance to advising on return-to-work programs. Awareness of Health & Safety and Employment Legislation: Your knowledge of regulations such as the Equality Act and health surveillance requirements ensures that Bakkavor remains compliant with current legal standards. Effective Communication and Interpersonal Skills: Your ability to communicate complex medical information clearly to non-medical colleagues makes you a key advisor. Flexible Approach to Working Hours: In a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you’re willing to work across a variety of shifts—including days, evenings, and nights—to ensure the health needs of all employees are met, no matter their schedule.

-Your experience within a manufacturing setting, especially in fast-moving consumer goods or chilled food environments, gives you a unique understanding of the occupational health challenges specific to this industry. Full Driving Licence and Willingness to Travel: As our Occupational Health Advisor, you’ll be flexible and mobile, with the ability to travel across different locations within the region. This ensures consistency and access to high-quality health services across multiple sites.

-Your blend of clinical expertise, strong problem-solving skills, and passion for employee welfare make you an invaluable asset to our team. Experience in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods or Chilled Food industries.
